We invite you to participate in our upcoming “I Can Rites of Passage” program—an unforgettable, life-shaping journey designed for young adults ages 16 to 24. Our 16-week course begins in fall 2026 and centers on our exciting new theme for 2026: Building Foundations.

This immersive program supports your personal growth and holistic well-being, guiding you through topics like self-discovery, financial literacy, and healthy living. Throughout, you’ll discover how to lay a strong foundation for a purposeful, resilient, and empowered life.

​

The journey culminates with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Egypt, December 26, 2026 – January 7, 2027.

 

Together, we’ll explore the roots of civilization—learning from ancient builders and drawing inspiration to build our own futures. Experience:

• A magical 4-day cruise along the legendary Nile River

• Guided tours of iconic pyramids and ancient sites

• Camel rides across breathtaking landscapes

• Sunrise hot air balloon ride over Cairo

• Thrilling ATV adventures

• Exploring vibrant Egyptian cuisine and savoring traditional meals

• Travel to a Nubian village for a rich cultural exchange and hands-on community experience

• Museum visits and immersive cultural experiences

• Stays in a luxurious 5-star hotel

 

This transformative, educational adventure is more than travel—it’s about building the tools, character, and mindset you need to thrive, just like the builders of Egypt’s legacy.

Trip Price: $4,975 per participant

You’ll have a full year to fundraise and save up for this all-inclusive, life-changing adventure. We encourage each participant to take initiative and ownership of their experience. (Spots fill up fast, and 2026 is already in demand!)
