More than a retreat. More than a few days away. ๐๐ฒ
Our Pathways to Resilience Youth Wellness & Resiliency Retreat gave youth the opportunity to experience adventure, connection, challenge, laughter and growth.
From horseback riding and kayaking to hiking, fishing, ziplining, campfires and team building, every activity created opportunities to build:
โจ Confidence
โจ Trust
โจ Leadership
โจ Empathy
โจ Resilience
โจ Belonging
Maslowโs Hierarchy of Needs reminds us that young people need to feel safe, connected and valued before they can truly thrive. This retreat gave our youth space to build those connections with nature, with one another and with caring adults.
We saw youth face fears, encourage each other, step outside their comfort zones and discover strengths they didnโt know they had.
Sometimes resilience is built through the simplest things: feeling safe, being supported, trying something new and knowing you belong. ๐
We are incredibly grateful to our funders, partners, staff, volunteers, families, Reesor Ranch, Medicine Hat Family Service and Our Collective Journey for helping make this experience possible.
These are the moments that matter. ๐ฒ๐
