Participating in WYP pushed me out of my comfort zone, helped me free my mind, face my fears, and believe that I could conquer it all! Being out in nature with no barriers and only endless possibilities has that effect on adults and children. There are no rules, no walls, no limits. That is what the teens in PAL who participate in WYP learn, and why they return weekly without fail – it’s an experience like no other that they share with their family.
