First Rites:  Young Men Rising!

FOR BOYS 13 – 15 YEARS OF AGE

OCTOBER 4-6, 2024

ROLLING RIDGE Retreat Center
Harpers Ferry, WEST VIRGINIA

Life is a journey. A wonderful and difficult journey! At times each of us, no matter where we are on our journey, can feel lost, or unsure of which next step to take at the inevitable fork in the road. These inflection points can seem more prevalent -- and daunting -- during transitional times in our lives, such as stepping from boyhood to adolescence. And there doesn’t have to be a huge decision for it to be tough!

Navigating this natural transformation (usually between the ages of 13-15) in the midst of rapid cultural, political, and technological change can seem downright bewildering, especially if you are trying to navigate it alone. But the good news is that you do not have to go it alone! In addition to parents/guardians, mentors, coaches, and others, you can find support from a global community of men who understand and care.
