Adventure Game Theater

Teen Rite of Passage

94% of cultures worldwide and throughout history have provided their adolescents with a Rite of Passage experience to help, not only celebrate their move from childhood to adulthood, but to create the psychological state change that is necessary for this maturation.   Using wisdom from other cultures, we've created an updated, modern version of this process, complete with the necessary 'threshold' experiences that allow this psychological healing and growth.

What Parents Have to Say

Overall, my kid is tired as anything, but moreso he is euphoric. I told him I can see a difference. It's like he's grown in that week. He said like I got taller? And I said no, you are more of yourself...from the inside. He said I feel like that.

What Teens Have to Say

Nothing feels exclusive. I always feel that I am a part of the group and I am valued. It's a very loving atmosphere. It's hard to find such a judgment-free space anywhere else.
