IV. “Rites of Passage” for Transitions to Middle and High School
Navigating change with purpose

Moving from Elementary to Middle School and Middle School to High School is an important transition time. New school, new classmates from other Elementary or Middle Schools, more responsibility and new educational and peer pressures.
Let us help in designing a program to explore the questions;

  • Who am I?
  • What are my strengths and Growth areas?
  • What am I passionate about?
  • What behaviors or patterns do I want to let go of, embrace?
  • What do I value?

This can be a day long program at your school or a 2-3 day residential program at a local camp or a camping adventure program.
