Wild Mountain Time:
Wilderness Teen Retreat
June 24- 30, 2023
Overnight Retreat
Ages 13-19
NorthernShire, Underhill VT
​
Come join us out in the beautiful woods on the foothills of Mount Mansfield. With 80 acres of forest and open meadows we have the perfect space to create a village in the woods. We will set up camp for the week where we can connect more deeply with each other, ourselves and with the natural world. We will cook our meals over the fire, relax and swim in the pond and streams, create and craft as we share our stories, our truths, and contemplate the world around us and our place within it. There will be time for music making, games, and solo time to connect with the beauty around us.
The retreat will culminate with our hike up Mount Mansfield, leaving directly from our village camp and making our way through the forest to a cabin part way up the Mountain where we can leave our things and continue our journey meeting with the Long Trail that will bring us Mount Mansfield's expansive ridge line. After our day on the Mountain we will return to the cabin and spend the night there before returning back to our home village.
​
Cost $480 reduced from 790 by a grant we got to support youth!

I’ve been going to ReTribe for seven years, and they have been some of my happiest memories. It creates a culture that I can’t find anywhere else.
