The intensive four-day healing and educational program for youth introduces young people of all races and cultures to ancient First Nations healing concepts and values through briefly experiencing a traditional First Nations way of life in a supportive healing environment. The curriculum is based upon the Seven Sacred Teachings and Medicine Wheel concepts, with program activities following the eight paths of the Medicine Wheel.

The three-hour group sessions for youth are also available, which are more geared to teaching school groups.
Many of the problems young people face today are the direct result of an identity crisis. Many young people attempt suicide, and others find themselves dealing with addictions, which are a result of low self-esteem and a loss of identity.

What young people need is direction and a vision that gives them hope for the future. The Four-Day Youth Program addresses these very issues. The Program offers an intensive four-day healing and teaching course that deals with the loss of identity that many youth face. A safe environment will be created where they can express their feelings and learn how to deal positively with issues that affect their lives. Solutions to life's problems are given in the spirit of walking a vision filled with peace and love for all life.
