Outdoor Adventure Programs for Improving Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy.
Research has repeatedly proven that time outdoors reduces levels of stress, depression, and anxiety.
Furthermore, being in nature usually leads to an increase in physical activity. Therefore, teen mental health improves. Regular exercise makes a significant positive difference in terms of teen depression and anxiety.
Our outdoor programs will provide life-long skills, build confidence, increase physical activity, improve mood, and educate teens on how to participate in a variety of outdoor activities safely and independently.
The objective of the EMPOWERU program is to provide adolescent girls between ages 12-16 years an opportunity to participate in a coordinated, ongoing series of high-quality activities and learning experiences that help them to achieve social, emotional, and physical well-being.
They will attain the ability to analyze their own strengths and weaknesses, set personal and vocational goals, and have the self-confidence and self-esteem to create a positive change in their life and the lives of others.
