Blue Ridge Passage 2022

July 11, 2022 - July 14, 2022

The Blue Ridge Passage is a co-ed, week-long backpacking trip with a focus on leadership and personal discovery taking place, this year, in the beautiful Shenandoah National Park.* Through strenuous hiking, solo time in the wilderness, ritual, and connection with peers and guides, participants have the potential for a truly transformational experience. *For returning participants, we will be hiking a new route.

Registrants will receive a detailed packing list; having appropriate gear is critical. If you do not have access to the necessary gear, Springhouse staff can help you secure what is needed.

Parent/guardian components: The trip will start and end with a ceremonial send-off and welcoming home from parents/guardians and families of the participants. Additionally, the parents/guardians and Springhouse staff members will gather on the night that their teens are on their solos to explore about the parent’s/guardian’s role in raising adolescents and to hold space for their children.

Please reach out to Sarah Merfeld with any questions.

Blue Ridge Passage is a Coming of Age program for youth ages 14-18

Dates:​ July 11th-15th, 2022

Location: ​ Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

Program Leaders: Sarah Merfeld and Chris Wolf

At Springhouse, we believe education should not be a commodity and we strive to make sure that no family is turned away for financial reasons. Instead of tuition, we see your contribution as an investment in our vision and mission.

We aim to dismantle the notion of education as a commodity by radically shifting the way we see money. Please review Springhouse’s Economic Model for transparent information about our budget. Please consider what you can invest in this program.
