RITES of Passage is back!

We are bringing RITES back for our 8th graders after a pause during the pandemic..

We want to show their community supports them!  

The background:

RITES is a program created by a student over 20 years ago. Inspired by the coming of age rituals of local indigenous nations.

RITES involves a series of trainings and experiences aimed at developing the skills and confidence of 8th grade students to successfully manage challenges in life. Students develop leadership skills, explore their understanding of and relationship with nature, learn to (safely) expand personal comfort zones, and participate in acts of service.

The year long activities include:

• Volunteer and community service

• Physical challenges

• Nature safety training

• Multi-day backpacking trip
