Wilderness Immersion for Self Esteem Program for Young Adults
June 29th to July 8th 2010

The WISE Program for Young Adults (YAP) is a trans-formative experience for youth 17-21 years of age. This 10 day mountain adventure program leads young people to discover who they really are and provides them with the tools to express this new sense of self in effective ways. These discoveries not only benefit these young people but also their close relations, their communities and the earth.

The WISE YAP program is an effective blend of the healing properties in the First Nations traditions and the creative aspects of our more modern cultures. Native ceremonies have the power to connect our hearts to our heads, creating a more balanced person. The ceremonies can also heal emotional and mental wounds from our pasts. Modern tools for personal development include action planning, journaling, creative visualization, leadership training and survival skills. Campfire and recreational activities weave fun with learning.

Each young person emerges from the WISE Young Adult Program with a new understanding of themselves and the capacity to manifest these awakenings in the world that awaits them.

This is a leadership program with mentor-ship through Self Desigh High.  If the participant is 19 and under and registers with SDH and  lives in B.C. they can be eligible to receive 4 high school credits as well as funding to assist with tuition fee.
