The first ever young men's conference is being hailed a success by organizers.
Nineteen students, most in grade 8, gathered at Quetico Provincial Park for three days last week.
Crossroad's School principal Gord McCabe says the focus differed from a conference held annual for girls of similar age.
"The young women's conference is geared towards a leadership theme," says McCabe. "With this program, what we wanted to do is to gear towards students who wouldn't normally get this type of opportunity."
Participants were involved in several outdoor adventures, along with planning and goal setting.
