Tall and lanky 13-year-old Justin Attwood never seems to be able to meet his fiercely accomplished dad's expectations "to do more, be more," the way his high-achieving siblings have. Justin likes sports but doesn't want to be a star athlete. While he has a keen interest in animals, he has no desire to add a buck to the family's "hunting wall of fame." And, unlike his dad, Justin isn't viewing his upcoming stay at a Canadian adventure camp as preparation for the family's annual hunting trip. Still, he's looking forward to the two-week training course in rock climbing and rappelling, orienteering, and other skills. Before the trip is over, he will experience a profound change in his knowledge of himself and what he is capable of-and find his own voice in the process
