The Experience

Internal Growth

By the third or fourth week in the program, the students have become quite accustomed to their environment. Because they have adjusted to the physical environmental challenges nature has offered, the youth are able to focus more on treatment goals and appropriate solutions to the problems that brought them to the program. They establish sincere, trusting relationships with other youth and with the staff, allowing for healthy communication and support. Each of the students will eventually participate in leadership roles, assuming responsibility for the group as a whole, rather than just themselves. They learn the power of teamwork and the necessity of individual contribution.

Each stage of the program introduces a powerful message that is supported by a metaphoric and experiential learning process. This process is reinforced by the field counselors, therapists and an individualized treatment plan for each student. As the students work their way through the program, they develop a sparkle in their eyes that speaks of a new confidence and strength in their ability to meet the challenges of life in the future.
