Between adolescence and adulthood is an uncomfortable middle ground where we can be found grappling with who we are and what’s important to us. But do we ever know exactly who we are? Perhaps life is one long continuous tussle as we try to hold tight, or let go, of some facet of our identity. Removing ourselves from our fast paced, digital dependent lives and embracing the wilderness for a whole summer offers a chance to explore our physical surroundings and our inner selves free from mainstream society’s expectations. Between the grit, sweat, tears and determination we can be vulnerable and that’s when we really grow as people. It can be a moment in our short existence where we can reclaim what we want and what we need.
