Journey Year

Adolescents aged 16 – 17 choose their own journeys towards adulthood with two distinct programs that provide opportunities for growth and self-discovery. In the Hero’s Journey^® program, participants spend a week in the woods of Connecticut learning self-reliance, positive communication and teamwork through a variety of exciting challenges and wilderness first aid training. With a homebase in the Young Adult Lodge, Champion’s Journey helps participants gain similar skills using the Camp environment. Participants from both programs will come together following the summer for a nine-month virtual program – Journey On – which will build upon their experiences from their in-person programming and solidify skills that will prepare them to embrace the full promise of their futures.

Camper Story

I have found that upon returning home from HJ, I do not have words to describe how much this program meant to me, which I believe only proves how meaningful it was. The staff has literally left me speechless, through their tireless work and dedication to campers and the program. I was amazed by everyone's positive attitudes and ability to gel as a team. I would not trade this experience for anything. It has greatly enhanced my world view and I know it will greatly impact the work I do, all in positive ways.
