Fourth Year Alex has enjoyed many outdoor trips with Seven Tepees so far, but the ski trip to the Sierra Nevada Mountains is special—Alex feels snow for the first time! Surrounded by the mountains, Alex says, “I’ve never felt so small.”

Second YearAlex meets a dedicated mentor, Francis. They talk all the time about how Francis got into building websites, and Francis says the summer job that Seven Tepees helped Alex find is a good start for developing a professional attitude.

First YearAlex, an artistic student who struggles with math, joins a dozen other new students from diverse backgrounds. Academic tutors at the Learning Center assist Alex with math.

Third YearAlex worries about fitting in at high school next year. Seven Tepees counselors help Alex deal with these fears, both one on one and at group counseling sessions. Seven Tepees also assists Alex’s family to enroll Alex in a high school that is a good fit.
