-Field Trip- our final day together we will head coastward to Stub Stewart State Park for even more stunning views, hiking trails, and a special closing activity to finish off our inspirational and epic journey together.
Every day we have activities, DIY labs, games and group chats revolving around themes of the day as you'll get tools to unlock secrets to better: relationships, body image, nutrition, skincare, moods, mindset, confidence, communication, finances, success and more.
