LYING BENEATH THE BRIGHT DESERT STARS..
At the end of an eventful day of hiking, learning to build fire with sticks, setting up a shelter using a tarp and cordage and cooking his/her own meals over a camp fire, your child will experience a feeling of competency that is largely unknown to many youth today.
Due to the onslaught of technology, many youth today spend a majority of their waking hours being entertained staring at a screen, texting, gaming and surfing endlessly throughout a virtual world of fantasy.
Our wilderness therapy program for boys provides a unique and powerful opportunity for teenagers to develop and grow in a positive way. Through immersion in the natural world, our program helps teens learn self-reliance, independence, and responsibility while also building confidence and resiliency.
