Teen Rendezvouz
Looking up from the foot of an Appalachian ridge, wading into cool lake waters…
What will you discover from the four-footeds, the two-winged, and the belly-crawlers who breathe the same air and drink the same water as you?
You’ll be at home under the stars, spark a coal into fire, carve and weave, sing, find your way in the woods, draw back a bowstring, and make your aim true.
The Teen Rendezvous is an intensive wilderness experience for teenagers who are hungry for adventure, challenge, and connection with others who share a passion for the arts of wilderness living.
Your experienced guides have stories, skills, and songs to share, challenges for those who are ready, and games to keep the group alive and wild.
We will journey away from the comforts of Indian Brook Camp, in search of our own village at the edge of it all, and won’t return for a week.
This will be an adventure never to forget. What are you waiting for?
Here’s what some of last year’s Teen Rendezvous Participants said:
The Teen Rendezvous was an amazing experience that I will look back on and I’ll be able to say, wow. I did that. I can do that.

I can’t point to an exact moment; but at some point in the experience I realized that I can just be me and that’s totally fine.

Skills: Fire-making, Tracking, Stone tools, Wild edibles, Throwing sticks, Trap-making, Invisibility, Scout skills, and more…
Explore the unknown of the wild, the secrets of the plants and animals, and the way of the scout, who moves on the landscape undetected.
It was life changing, a truly wonderful experience. Though it was scary and uncomfortable at times, it made me a better person, especially in the woods.
