What's in it for boys?

Are you ready for your adventure?
Are you trying to figure out what's important in life?
Are you looking for something more?
Are you looking for men you can trust and rely on?
You're not alone.
We're waiting for you.

• A circle of boys and men who are committed to taking the journey together.

• A safe place to ask the tough questions and get straight answers.

• Guidance you can trust, push against, and rely on.

Adventure Passage Weekend is the threshold. It's a wild ride. Days and nights are packed with challenges, mystery, games, and direct talk between men and boys.

The Mentor Program is first rate. We learn from each other while we play and work. Together we develop self actualization, leadership, community service and emotional literacy.

Our Community Events have what you want; lots of of fun!
We go cave exploring, camping, frisbee golfing, and more.
We have an annual splatball event. It is led by ex-combat veterans who ensure that the experience not just exciting, but rich and harrowing. We do community service work that ranges from arbor care to animal rescue to Habitat for Humanity projects and more.

What will you get out of this?

You’ll have fun and get stronger. We’ll challenge you physically, mentally, and spiritually.

You’ll start to know your own power, and meet friends who are interested in going somewhere.

What happens besides the weekend?

After you complete your Passage Adventure Weekend you are called a Journeyman. We have ongoing activities that include fun events, social service, and skill building. You have the option of being matched with a mentor if you want to.

What is a mentor?

A mentor is a personal ally and supporter. A mentor is not a teacher or surrogate parent. Some young men think of them as uncles or big brothers. Boys to Men screens our volunteers carefully. We’re looking for good men who are already successful in their own lives. Then BTM shares what we know with our mentors: that young men are already excellent, and that mentors get as much as mentees from their friendships.

How old do I have to be?

We accept boys 14 through 17 who are ready to commit to taking this next step into manhood.

Is this a religious outfit?

No. Boys to Men has no religious affiliation or religious teachings. Some chapters of Boys to Men do operate out of church facilities, but Boys to Men supports each boy’s individual spiritual tradition and journey.

Boys to Men does support truth, integrity and responsibility.

How many guys are there on the weekend?

20 new guys plus about 20 staff and Journeyman.
