"As a teacher of writing, it's thrilling to see kids involved in the
art of narrative. As a parent, it's great to see kids find a place to work out
deeper issues of the psyche...Through this process, a great sense of self-esteem
and confidence in kids seems to emerge...they meet new peers, forge new friendships...learn
to work together. The Wayfinder Staff...brings a unique strength and ecletic
talent...as a group they maintain an amazing clarity of vision: being a part
of a team that helps create something magic for our children, that encourages
this incredible community...the staff absolutely and completely respects each
kids for whom he/she really is. They really give the kids the responsibility
to make choices; they honor each child's individuality."
- A.W. Langley, Parent
"I must say my son...had a life-altering experience with Wayfinder. I
am not saying that lightly. He was really affected by the activities...and I
thank you.
- Andrea Kretchmer, Parent
Bill, age 15, The camp, or experience, rather, teaches love, repect, adoration
of peers, and allows for a positive environment in which anyone and everyone
can feel free to be themselves, without inhibition, at all times.
Rene, age 11: People here make me feel special.
James, age 11, Thursday night before camp ended: I dont want
to go to bed because when I wake up this will all be over.
Dan, age 16:The whole week was great. I wish I was coming back next
week, and the week after that, and the week after that
Mikko, age 16:These last 5 days here have made my outlook on life better.
Gaby, age 11: You start to lose your imagination after awhile. You can
come here to get it back. Its almost like one huge kind of family.
"…my boys’ aggressive interests are met with respect and then channeled into creative conflict negotiation, a
deeper understanding of their own natures…and a healthy understanding of ‘true warriorship’… kids really understand this,
love it and want to participate year after year."
- Elizabeth Lesser, Co-Founder of the Omega Institute
"…I see this (Wayfinder) experience for our teens as much more than ‘the most awesome thing ever’;
I see it as an opportunity for them to gain the experiences that later will serve to allow them to join
that 4% of people who…can go on to do spiritual work. I see it as an opportunity for them to have a practical
experience of who they really are."
