"To live, for several weeks, at a back-country campsite deep in the wilderness, or on a small sailboat, with people who you never knew before, opens your mind. To learn new skills, from cooking over a fire to rappelling off a rock face, to taking care of this beautiful planet, gives you confidence. To sit around a fire in the evening and revel in the day just completed with new friends, is a joy."
"To do all this when you are a teenager or a young adult is a gift, because you have the rest of your life to go out and change the world."
