About this programme
Building Character. Shaping Men. Preparing for Life.
Growing into a man is not easy. Getting older does not guarantee growth. It is requires learning to take responsibility for yourself, developing the discipline to do what is right even when it is difficult, discovering your strengths, managing your emotions and choices, respecting others, and beginning to understand the kind of man you want to become. The Boys' Mentorship Camp is a three-day residential mentorship experience for young men aged 16 to 21 years, bringing together guided conversations, practical activities, mentorship, reflection, teamwork and purposeful interaction.
Key Questions
What kind of man are you becoming?
What does it mean to be a gentleman?
What does responsibility look like?
How do you develop self-control?
How do you build habits that strengthen rather than weaken you?
How do you handle pressure, failure, temptation and difficult decisions?
What kind of career could you build?
What values will guide your decisions?
What kind of man do you want to become?
