Boys crave adventure, not comfort.
As safety, and comfort has overtaken our culture as an accepted tool for rewarding success and relieving distress; many young men no longer feel a sense of value at school or in careers. The fact that more young men are not participating or feeling disconnected - tells us something is missing? We offer the two essential staples young men yearn for: adventure and a sense of connection. Our platform of community conservation provides a challenging environment that anchors young men in a healthy social environment where they can explore and grow beyond the limits of childhood.
