Community belonging — ReTribe's vision of community

ReTribe is more than just an educational organization. We are a community of people who want to live our lives in connection with each other and the earth. We love doing what we can to help others heal and find a positive and joyful way to contribute to our world. Some of our staff live cooperatively together year-round. When we aren't running programming we try to create space for community through playing music and holding gatherings where we can share healthy food and celebrate nature's cycles.

Rites of Passage — post-retreat mentoring and community

ReTribe is committed to continuing to mentor teens after the retreat is over. Each teen is assigned a mentor who stays in contact with them through the process of their reintegration back into their homes and families. We also help teens to stay in touch with their peers from the ReTribe community, who are able to provide an important support network. ReTribe also offers after school programs and organizes gatherings between retreats to help teens stay connected and continue their transformational practices.

Programs & camp life

Breathwork — what it is and what it does

During Breathwork retreats, we use a therapeutic modality that uses full and deep breathing as a means of healing and transformation. An energy charge is created in the body, and as the energy disperses, it serves to release, or to cleanse blockages, both physical and emotional. The process is gentle, safe, and loving, and most people have a deep, moving, and transformational experience. Breathers are fully conscious and in control throughout their experience. Breathwork has been shown to help with stress and anxiety management, chronic tension, respiratory problems, trauma and PTSD, emotional release, and self esteem, and frequently can provide a direct spiritual experience.

ReTribe mission and what it offers

ReTribe provides a wide range of programs that help guide youth, teens and adults through the many transformations of life. Whether it be the small changes of childhood as our day campers learn to build fires, carve wood, and explore their imaginations in the woods, or the profound changes that the teens face on our Rites of Passage retreats as they find themselves, explore deep emotions, and experience the intensity of the Threshold experience — participants come away from our programs having grown and transformed, bringing them one step closer to the person that they hope to become.

Retreat health policy

For the week leading up to the retreat, participants are asked to make health conscious choices to promote a healthy community on the retreat. We will ask all participants and staff to practice good hygiene including hand washing before meals to prevent the spread of sickness.

Safety — ReTribe provides safe space for threshold experiences

ReTribe provides safe space for youth to go through this vital transformation that they so desperately need, in a healthy, supervised environment. Though we will never trick teens into thinking they are at real risk during the game, they will still be able to experience, through fantasy play, some of the chemical and emotional reactions they so desperately seek when they engage in reckless behavior.

Scholarships — Strong Youth Foundation

Each year ~50 families of youth and teens are able to participate in ReTribe's programs thanks to scholarship support from the Strong Youth Foundation.
