Self reliance and self knowledge is best learned through the provision of 'well regulated' or <I>sheltered</I> freedoms that give abundant opportunity to learn from experience and from natural consequences (<I>risks</I>).  We offer youth the opportunity to be involved in self intiated risk taking, meaningful work, grueling commitments and broad experiences.  </div> <bR> <div> <B><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">How do I apply? </B>Application forms are available on the web site or by contacting a Director (see contact us).  Limited scholarships and sliding fee rates are available for open enrollment camps (see open enrollment schedule).
