These
trips build relationships and self-confidence in the youth. The close proximity
and working of the boat requires teamwork and fosters a natural discipline and
self-reliance. Young people today have substituted their personal dreams for
television shows and the video game experience has taken the place of real life
adventure. Adventure trips are like a jump start for dreams. Kids who have no
personal goals or dreams for their future, experience a new real adventure.
They paddle a kayak through the morning fog, look all the way around a sailboat,
heeled over in the wind, and see the ocean with no land in sight. In these experiences
success is the only option.
