Dear Friends
As Chairman of the Youth Commission, I feel it important to take the time to
share with you a letter I received from the youth you helped send to the
Minnesota Outward Bound program this past summer
( I have duplicated the letter exactly as I received it, having only witheld
the name of the youth, to preserve the privacy of the award.
"Thank you for sending me to Outward Bound I really appreciated it. It was
a very good experience for me because it gave me more self confidence then I
II had before
I accompii: __d things '_ never thought I could do, because I never had the chance
at-, todo it, or I f_3n`t ha -a the confidence in myself to do it.
I did such things as row a conoe for many miles, carry canoes and heavy packs
for many miles, climb cliffs with my bare hands and be alone with myself without
anything or anybody for three long days and nights
i!f The people there were great, they treated me very nice, I liked them alot.
I really liked the area I was in, it was very beautiful and clean. It was very
quiet, which was a relief from everyday life It was so clean that you could
drink the water from every lake and river I saw alot of things that I never
saw before in my whole life such as moose, bear, loons, and bald eagles; I also
saw huge waterfalls, which were very exciting The course was very demanding
physically and mentally which was hard at first, but I learned how to do things
if I wanted to or not just by putting my mind to it. I think this is a great
opportunity for kids so that they will learn more about themselves and learn how
to cope with problems that they might face in life I think that this was one
of the most meaningful and important things I have done in my whole life "
Respectfully,
7A
