Teen Wild Within Program
Explore. Connect. Grow.
The Teen Wild Within Program is an immersive nature-based journey through Metro Vancouver’s stunning parks. Designed for teens seeking connection – with themselves, with others, and with the natural world – this program weaves together adventure, resilience, self-discovery, and earth stewardship.
Together, we’ll explore diverse local ecosystems, build friendships, learn from the land, and develop inner and outer skills that support confidence, creativity, and grounded presence in a fast-paced world.
Program details are subject to change based on enrollment.
