How to Guide Boys Through Rites of Passage

This session equips camp professionals with a framework for building positive masculinity through rites of passage programming. In a society where boys have fewer and fewer meaningful markers on their journey to manhood, camps are uniquely positioned to fill that gap. Participants will explore how connection, reflection, challenge and adventure can be intentionally designed to help boys build meaningful relationships and develop a stronger sense of who they are and who they want to become. Drawing from Next Gen Men’s Rite of Passage Expeditions, participants will learn how to create transformative outdoor experiences where boys grow through facing authentic challenge while in meaningful relationships with others.

This session is for camp educators and facilitators committed to creating powerful coming-of-age experiences.
