The WES Coming of Age program offers adventure activities and services to guide teens 13-16 and their families during the challenging transition of adolescence. Today's teens confront new and dangerous situations their families may not see. In most cultures, teens have gone through initiation activities and ceremonies to become accepted as young adults. COA-MATT supports teens on their path to healthy adulthood by providing adventure activities and services to guide teens and their families during the challenging transition of adolescence.
Scholarships are available.
Why we started the COA-MATT program . COA-MATT is dedicated, with love, to Matthew Waymon who died in a reckless accident in a car being driven by a friend. Matthew was 16. Adventure weekends - Challenging activities promote team work and cooperation.
