Therapeutic Wilderness Camps for Troubled Teens
Therapeutic wilderness camps for adolescents are therapeutic assessment programs that help parents find out exactly what it is that is troubling their child. Additionally, therapeutic wilderness camps act as a "wake up call" for troubled teens. Troubled adolescents who are struggling with substance abuse, defiance, lack of motivation, and other poor personal choices find therapeutic wilderness programs to be the perfect therapeutic intervention.
Therapeutic wilderness camps are based on the belief that it isn't about giving consequences to troubled teens for behaving poorly, instead these struggling teens face consequences that are created naturally from the environment. This gives the adolescent the opportunity to acknowledge how what they do brings them immediate consequences. Through common sense they are able to learn what works for them and what is actually holding them back.
By studying the troubled teens as individuals and as a whole, as well as for who they truly are rather than judging them based on their recent setbacks, the staff of therapeutic wilderness camps are able to gain the trust of the troubled teens, which allows them to develop a deeper relationship. Having an unguarded relationship with a mentor/authority type figure is crucial in the development of an effective plan and enabling the teen to grow and meet their full potential.
