Waking Up The Wild Man
“Put a boy in the woods and watch how long it takes for him to start painting his face and shooting arrows across the sky. In that instant all the expectations, rules, customs, and manners of his society are set aside for a far more primal and vigorous identity that lies dormant in the heart of every man.”

Meriwether Lewis
“His courage was undaunted; his firmness and perseverance yielded to nothing but impossibilities.”
Thomas Jefferson, on Meriwether LewisSoldier, explorer, writer, and statesman. Lewis led the Corps of Discovery across an unmapped continent to the Pacific Ocean and back, embodying every virtue we seek to cultivate: courage in the face of the unknown, discipline under hardship, intellectual curiosity, and masculine leadership.
He was a man of “undaunted courage,” an American, a Virginian, a friend and protégé of Thomas Jefferson, and he lived a life of service to his nation.
It is in his spirit, and under his name, that this academy was founded.
