What They Love about Athena’s Path and Hero’s Pursuit

We understand that it might be hard to explain to your doubting teen why they should do a social leadership camp during their summer vacation. Or you might have some questions, yourself. We get it – it’s a unique concept. Here is some of the great feedback we’ve received about Athena’s Path and Hero’s Pursuit:

Athena’s Path

“I got the eye roll eye too when I told my daughter she was going to leadership camp, but she had THE BEST time. Waking up early, talking nonstop on the way there and home, sharing her lessons – what a nice week! So glad we were finally able to get her into camp!”

“This camp was exactly what I hoped it would be – it gave her tools to deal with conflict, and it gave her a welcoming platform to connect with new people. She was so excited to go to camp every day (and she is NOT a morning person!), and the greatest gift to me was our solo drive home, where I barely said a word and she told me every detail of her days.”

Hero’s Pursuit

“Not only did he LOVE the Camp (he wants to go back all through middle school AND be a counselor at some point!), it prompted meaningful, mature, important conversations between us. I think camp made him feel like he had a safe space to talk about things that maybe he had questions about but hadn’t really articulated yet…and he had SO MUCH FUN”

“When I complimented him on his mature and empowered behavior this morning, he excitedly mentioned how he learned about it in a meditation from camp. Thanks for inspiring him to be curious and unafraid to fail, challenging him to take responsibility for his actions and modeling a healthy love and respect for himself.“

From Our Instructors

“Thanks again for letting me be a part of this camp – loved the girls this week and watching them open up as the week kept going. Not a single one of them knew each other before camp and at the end a lot stayed online to exchange emails and phone numbers.”

“Truly, this week was a highlight of my summer – I can’t stop talking about it to friends and family! The growth that I saw in these young women over the course of five days gave me so much hope. This experience will stick with me for years to come!”
