The wilderness is a place where nature is dominant and situations and their consequences are real. Camping in these conditions, away from the distractions of modern civilization fosters self-reliance, respect and a sense of responsibility for youth’s own actions. Real Men Outdoor’s adventure programs are designed based on the nationally recognized Boy Scout Venturing Program format.
Through the outdoor experience, in addition to learning outdoor skills, teens respond to physical challenges and learn to overcome obstacles through problem solving. Youth are guided through activities, which enable them to build self-esteem, self-confidence, cooperation, leadership skills, and team building. Teens expand their horizons beyond concrete and asphalt and to learn about themselves, nature and their environment. Each youth spends quality time with caring adult men (who have been screened by Boy Scouts of America) in an environment that teaches them more effective ways of relating to others and healthier ways of valuing themselves.
Youth involved in RMO Venturing will:
- Learn to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling the values in the RMO Venturing Oath and Code.
- Experience a program that is fun and full of challenge and adventure.
- Acquire skills in the areas of high adventure, sports, arts and hobbies, religious life, or Sea Scouting.
- Experience positive leadership from adult and youth leaders and be given opportunities to take on leadership roles.
- Have a chance to learn and grow in a supportive, caring, and fun environment.
