TAF 2008 Conference Information

"I am ________."

The theme this year is identity and we plan on taking you through the experience of discovering what your self-identity is and how you would finish the statement, "I am ______." At TAF, we believe that your personal identity is very important for developing as a person. Defining who you are provides the foundation for you to explore deeper into the themes of ethics & values, communication, and leadership. If you have been to TAF before, you know that the TAF experience is profound and unique - something you cannot find anywhere else! The friends you make, the activities and games you play, the lessons you learn, and the ways you are challenged to think and grow all make TAF the summer event that you cannot miss!
