The Young Men's Ultimate Weekend is a life changing adventure where you'll experience excitement, adventure and fun (and great food).
The "Ultimate Weekend" is a modern day rite-of-passage experience where you will be challenged and mentored to take the step up from boy to young man.
At the Weekend your son will learn how to connect with his masculine wisdom by conquering obstacle courses, playing sports, participating in a sweat lodge, learning martial arts & yoga, making music, working in teams and overcoming his deepest fears.

About the Program
This event serves another opportunity to re-unite all past graduates in order to
keep the fire of YMUW alive while having outrageous fun.
Young men are encouraged to bring their fathers and friends to join with YMUW volunteers for an unforgettably fun afternoon of paintball skirmishes and sportsmanship. The mentors will focus on using competition as a respectful endeavor where each young man is challenged to give his all-out best efforts without discrediting anyone else.
Lunch, site rental, and all equipment needed for the experience will be provided.
