The adolescent years are a formative time. It is during this time that we step from childhood into adulthood and, indeed, for many these years serve to form an interpretive lens for the world. This is the time when minds are open to learning. In so many there is a hungering for meaningful interaction with the real world. This is found for many in the natural world. By coming to Roots teens taking learning into their own hands. By learning the basic tools of tracking and awareness they are set up to pursue a variety of natural studies with all the fervor and passion that they have.
