Our boys need help making the emotional shift from boy to young man. Traditional societies recognized that the future health of their communities depended upon having healthy men instead of overgrown boys. The traditional pathway for this transition is known as a “Rite of Passage.”
Our contemporary Rite of Passage is a safe, carefully designed program for boys into manhood on a 5 day bush camp for boys aged 13 – 15 and their fathers or male care giver.
It helps teenagers evolve from ‘boy psychology’ to ‘healthy man psychology’. Boy psychology is characterised by the individual seeking acknowledgement, thinking he is the centre of the universe, will live for ever, is ruled by his emotions, won’t accept responsibility for his actions and wants his mother. Healthy man psychology is characterised by the individual charting his own course, recognizing the world doesn’t revolve around him, realizing he is mortal, understanding and taking responsibility for the consequences of his actions and seeking to establish equitable relationships with women.
Fathers and mothers find that their relationships with their son improves. Their teenagers mature and grow into young men almost, it seems, overnight.
The normal cost to attend a camp is $1600 for father and son. However, corporate sponsorship allows us to adopt a policy that no one will miss out on this important program for financial reasons.
