A man treats a woman with honor. A man is responsible. A man is kind. Boys don t usually need a lot of instruction in the basics of what it means to do right. Their problems come in HOW to do right.
Ideals are one thing, circumstances are another.
Our ideals do us no good if we can t apply them in daily circumstances. Because of that the camp s classes will not consist of pen and paper, but rather open discussion, and acting out scenarios that DO occur in real life, with instruction on HOW to deal with them according to the ideals of manhood. It will be a legitimate training ground for young men. The way I envision the camp there will be several instructors, each taking a class of 12 to 16 boys for periods of 2 hours or less. The first thing to happen when the boys arrive will be to pair them up- if they do not already arrive with a buddy.
