PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT

This course is a 3-week desert backpacking expedition in west Texas for troubled teens. It is designed for teens exhibiting challenging behaviors at home or school who are ready to make a change. At least one parent must participate in the 3-day parent / guardian seminar at course end. The expedition is an opportunity for young people to learn about themselves and their strengths in a new setting, away from their typical pressures and temptations. The family component provides a structure for independence with appropriate support and new hope for productive family relationships.
