Wilderness Leadership Program for Boys Ages 12–16
How You Can Help
We're launching a capital campaign to raise $12,000 to support economically marginalized youth who would otherwise be unable to participate in this program. Our goal is to offer 50% tuition subsidies to half of our participants.
Thanks to the generosity of community member Sigrid Cummings, we already have a $6,000 matching pledge — and now we’re looking for community partners to help us meet that match.
Your support helps us raise strong, healthy young men in a caring and connected community.
A Passionate Endorsement From Our Community
“We are so so excited about this program!! I saw it on your website and literally shouted “Yes!” This is exactly what our young men need. Especially in these times of negative/sexist/violent online influences targeted at boys and the rolling back of all the progress we’ve made in raising generations of boys who are strong and confident expressing feelings, self love and kindness. And who respect themselves and women!
Thank you CedarRoot! Until our sons are older, we’ll keep doing your rad camps and afterschool programs. We so appreciate your role in our community, getting our kids in nature with awesome instructor roles models. It’s the antidote we’ve been seeking to the addictive screen-based attention economy. Thank you!”
We also recognize the need for a similar program for girls and hope to launch one in the future, with help from community members who share that vision.
