What people are saying:

My first class at Headwaters was the Boys Rites of Passage, where I found that I had the potential to be a much better version of myself than I had been. Through Headwaters and Tim's classes, I started to find that I had real potential, in a gorgeous and nurturing environment where I was trusted with responsibilities and learned what it meant to be a care taker of nature. I think what really drove home the lessons of Headwaters to me was that after the Boys Rites of Passage I was invited to stay for the whole summer for the apprentice program, where I got to take part in every class that summer.
