Their wilderness adventure treatment for at-risk adolescents assists teens in overcoming obstacles and becoming the greatest versions of themselves. Each week, groups begin at their base camp, where clients spend several days performing individual and group treatment, equine therapy, preparing meals, cleaning up, and getting ready for the weekly treks. A typical day involves activities like rock climbing, mountain biking on nearby routes, or canoeing and kayaking. All of these activities are carried out in groups. Clients will also work on daily curriculum, journal writing, and an evening campfire meetings following supper.
