Too old for camp, but too young for a job? What can I DO this summer? We've got just the thing for you! Spend a week with girls your age, high school and college girls, and cool teachers who will amaze you with life lessons, tips and techniques you can use every day to handle the social pressures in school.

Have you ever been disappointed by how a friend treated you? Or unsure how to handle a rumor you heard? Or stumbled through an embarrassing introduction to a guy? With games, activities, role-playing, in-depth discussions and guest speakers, you'll have fun learning strategies to guide you through Middle School … and beyond. You will discover that being a leader doesn’t necessarily mean being class president… it means solving problems creatively, doing what you believe is right, and staying true to yourself. Join the girls of Athena's Path for a week of friendship, bonding, laughter and surprises you won't forget.

we are all the same. I want to do this at my school!"

What Moms Are Saying About Athena’s Path:

“Athena’s Path opened up lines of dialogue with my daughter that probably would not have taken place otherwise. We are definitely returning for a second year.”

“Athena’s Path reinforced the lessons we’ve been trying to teach and gave her practical tools for handling situations she has been in and will likely be in again.”

Hero’s Pursuit is a new leadership program for boys to help them handle the challenges and opportunities boys face in middle school. We know boys have to be active and busy. This action-packed week is full of hand-on activities (like changing a bike tire or playing the guitar) with helpful life lessons tucked in between. The boys will learn to:

- develop leadership qualities - balance friendships
- compete tactfully - navigate social pressures
- take action in the community - utilize natural inquiry
- use determination to reach success
- respectfully interact with the opposite sex

Hero’s Pursuit is led by cool male teachers who know middle school boys and the issues they face in school. High school interns make the activities fun and help bridge the gap between kids and adults.

What Boys Are Saying About Hero’s Pursuit:

“I really want to do this camp again. I can’t wait for the reunion. The guys were great!”

“I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.”

“This is the only camp I’ve ever wanted to do twice.”

What Parents Are Saying About Hero’s Pursuit:

“The best part about the camp was the life skills the boys learned. You know they don’t listen to their parents! It’s great for them to learn these lessons from older boys.”

“Awesome! Can we have camp for parents?”
