Every human has four elemental needs: shelter, water, fire and food. Our ancestors were deeply connected to these needs. They knew how to find and create solutions to meet them, as well as how to pass these essential skills on to the next generation. Without this lineage we would not be here today. Our modern world seems to have forgotten much of this. Wilderness Passage is a journey that reconnects youth with these skills, creating confidence, self sufficiency, and transformation. We light the ceremonial fire for each passage and provide parental guidance for supporting this transformation before and after the passage.

The Wilderness Passage is for young teens, aged 12-15.

Sunday, June 16 (1-4pm) - Friday, June 21 (4-5pm).

Parents will drop-off and pick-up at the Burton Educational Preserve in Nevada City. Teens will travel with 4EEE staff less than an hour away to the Sierra Nevada mountain wilderness.

We offer Sliding Scale Pricing ($950 | $800 | $650). All meals are included. Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions or special needs at the time of registration.
