2020 PARTICIPANT FORMS:

*PLEASE READ*

​

WHY SHOULD YOUR TEEN BE INVOLVED IN DIRECTION THROUGH SOLITUDE?

  • On average, teens spend 7 hours and 22 minutes on screen media each day – not including time spent for school or homework. On the contrary, kids are only spending an average of 4-7 minutes outside each day. The way we spend our time translates into our long term mental and physical health. Direction Through Solitude is working to change the mindset of teens in regards to how they spend their time. Through outdoor adventure, mentorship, interacting with friends, and learning leadership skills – Direction Through Solitude works to build a healthy foundation for teens to be happy and succeed in life.
