Frequently Asked Questions

What ages can attend, and what does each age band involve?

We serve boys and young men from 8 to 23, grouped into Young Explorers (10–8), Path Finders (13–11), Rising Men (17–14), and Young Men (23–18). See the Programmes page for details on each.

What happens during camp?

Mentorship conversations, leadership activities, team challenges, reflection sessions, life skills training, and entrepreneurship exposure, all structured around our Discover, Develop, Deploy framework.

Is the camp safe, and who supervises participants?

Every mentor is known to the team and supervised throughout camp. Safety and supervision are built into every stage of planning, and full details are shared directly during the application process.

What should my son bring?

A full preparation checklist is sent after registration is confirmed, covering clothing, personal items, and anything specific to that intake's location.

What makes Boys to Men different?

It is rooted specifically in the Uganda and Africa context, built on a proprietary Discover, Develop, Deploy framework, and does not end when camp ends. See Beyond the Camp for how follow-up works.

How does follow-up happen after camp?

Through continued mentor check-ins, alumni community, and practical accountability structures, addressing the specific gaps a few days at camp cannot close alone.

How does this work for a diaspora family?

Select "Diaspora" on the Apply page and your enquiry is routed to the team handling travel logistics, timing, and communication across time zones. See Why Enrol Now for more.
