My StoryProject PotentialOn a warm and humid summer morning, six teenage boys and two staff members headed out of Minneapolis up Highway 35 to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). For some of these teens this was their first time leaving Minneapolis. These boys would spend the next four days canoeing the BWCA learning how they individually could handle difficult situations. One night as the group was about to set up camp for the evening, the island they intended to make home for the night was full. The boys were frustrated and angry. That anger grew as they continued on to the next camp site, and it was full. The group canoed for three hours stopping at eight sites before they found an empty one. The kids let go of their anger and without complaint, they each found their place in setting up camp for the night. This example of growth was just one highlight as the teens grew personally with a better understanding that they could deal with stresses of life through their own determination. Hennepin County is a sponsoring agency of Project Potential. |
