    Description

    A key component of the Wayfinders experience is one-on-one mentoring. Wayfinders pairs each new 4th grade scholar with an adult mentor who provides year-round support and encouragement to the scholar, assists with outfitting the scholar for camp, and, if able, drives the scholar (and possibly other scholars) to and/or from camp if needed.

    Wayfinders mentors collectively volunteer more than 4,000 hours per year and commit to a minimum of 5 years as mentors.
