We offer two rites of passage programs for teens – Inner Journeys (July 20-Aug 3) to enrich personal development and Adventure Game Theater (July 5-12) for an epic live-action role-playing experience. Both of ReTribe’s transformative overnight retreats let teens immerse themselves in nature, foster peer connection, instill ecological awareness, engage in meaningful self-reflection and grow as humans.
