“Back to Basics Through Challenge and Adventure”

I just stumbled across this article in my computer’s archives. I had acquired this when I was working on my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction (which I never completed). I must say that most of the stuff I researched from the world of education was junk, but I found some really good research as well. I am posting the article here for anyone to read. It does use some education lingo, but for the most part it keeps to universal principles that I think you might find to ring true.

Lately, I’ve been studying up on the break down of rites of passage within our society, and I must say that this article seems to follow the pattern of necessary steps to restore social order. Again, the article uses different lingo, and is geared more in terms of social programs. Yet, I can only dream of what would happen if masses of individuals within the church, particularly fathers, would take up this great mandate to lead the youth of our society through this great forging process called adventure or rites of passage.
