  IN SEARCH OF: Matt and I are looking for a camp for our son, he is 12. I figured the best people to ask would be PC people. We are in MN but willing to send him elsewhere. Looking for something to support his independence. He doesn't really struggle in many areas. Confident, respectful, mostly happy, brave and curious. Very much admires individuality. He loves to shoot his longbow and thinks survival skills are cool. He isn't much into hiking but he is into adventure. I am open to any and all recommendations. Thanks in advance!

  I went to Prairie Trek out of Thoreau, NM. It's a part of the Cottonwood Gulch Foundation, which has camps for girls, boys, and younger kids. It is expeditionary, camping and hiking all through the southwest as well as summer projects and gatherings with other campers. I met five guys when I was 12, who I later saw as PC classmates, 8 years later, including Randy and Mark Udall. I can't recommend it highly enough. Took the Super Chief from Chicago to Gallup, and my new life began. Our kids went. When they were there, the camp director was Martin Heinrich, now the democratic senator from New Mexico.
