Wilderness Programs
Wilderness programs are all about teamwork and self reliance and have become very popular over the last 10 years. Generally, your teen is taken to a remote and safe location with other teens and staff members. Camping outdoors away from the noise of the world gives your teen a wonderful opportunity to “Get back to basics” . Although these programs are popular it is important for parents and caregivers to know that their teen is truly being taken to a safe location with competent staff and a results oriented curriculum. Researching all of these pieces can be extremely time consuming and at times a bit frustrating. SOS can help you navigate through the thousands of Wilderness programs nationwide to find the best program for your teen.
The typical candidates for these types of programs are:
- Suffering from Low Self Esteem
- Selfish and/or Defiant
- Failing in school
- Suffering from mild substance abuse
- Showing potential for criminal behavior
If your teen meets any of the above criteria they may be a candidate for a Wilderness Program. Let SOS help you determine if this is the best program and help you find the right school for your teen’s individual needs. Our services are FREE and completely confidential.
