Young Adult & Teens Wilderness Therapy Program

Young Adult & Teens Wilderness Therapy Program

In the wilderness, the student experiences powerlessness “big time” when they attempt to light their first matchless fire with two sticks and a piece of string. Powerlessness rests heavy as the student attempts to “outsmart” the weather, take a “shortcut” in canyon country, or to “manipulate the insects”. They quickly learn that blaming someone or something does not start a fire, cook a meal, build a shelter in the rain, or remove the impassable canyon. The young adult discovers no amount of complaining brings them to their destination faster or easier – only “doing” gets them there and only attitude makes it easier. The student learns they are not as powerful as they thought back home. They learn what their part is in their problems.
