Bridge to the Beach: I Love the Beach. And You? Let's Share the Gift...
I'm sure you can imagine, as I did, that there are many among us who have never been to the beach. Not for lack of interest, only lack of opportunity. Thus, Bridge to the Beach was born.
Our aim is to bring urban teenage boys to the beach for a weekend of ease, invigoration, community, and mentorship. We seek to provide the opportunity for teens to step out of the saturation of urban life, and enjoy a reprieve in the softness and spaciousness of the ocean and its beaches. We're planning this trip for the off-season to foster community in spaciousness and to give our full attention to ourselves.
While in community, we will:
- prepare fresh meals,
- host workshops in yoga, songwriting and financial literacy,
- enjoy moonlit walks on the beach,
- unfurl in contemplative "alone" time,
- celebrate our ancestry around a campfire,
- rally our nerves for a "polar bear plunge",
- discover truths about ourselves and much more.
Please consider donating and sharing the gift of the beach with those who have never been! Every little bit helps, and we would be so grateful to receive your support!
Donations will be used to provide a rental house, transportation, and food. All extra will be used to create a scholarship fund for the teens that participate.
