AHA! Digital Cleanse

Teens aged 14-19 are invited to spend five device-free days exploring nature and nurture at breathtaking El Capitan Canyon. 

With guidance and support from skilled AHA! facilitators in a ratio of at least one staff for every two participants, 20 teens will immerse themselves in nature; tune back into their creative spark; connect deeply with one another; and gain support for their unique dreams and self expression. 

Youth will enjoy horseback riding, kayaking, writing, theater improv, movement, and art. Healthy relationship skill building will be a theme throughout, with plenty of listening circles and other activities. 

Interested youth & families will be interviewed for spots. Teens and parents must submit an application and be interviewed in order to be considered.
