This dissertation examined spiritual growth of teens using a backpacking trip with a rite of passage. Eight youth--five males, three females--and four adults participated in a five-day trip. The spiritual well-being scale was given as a pre-test and four- and twelve-week post-test. Each teen kept a journal. Females grew more than males. Teens without a parent involved grew more than those with a parent participating. The Religious Well-Being means rose each testing. The Existential Well-Being means rose at four weeks, then fell below pre-test mean at twelve weeks. The rite of passage was rated as the greatest contributor to spiritual growth.
