  • Increase self-awareness, self-confidence, and self-esteem
  • Expand their sense of responsibility for the communities shared experiences
  • Develop healthy, supportive relationships with peers and mentors
  • Appreciate nature in a beautiful outdoor setting
  • Explore and expand new and existing skill sets
