MILESTONE: 21-Day Expeditions with New Vision Wilderness.
Our 21-day Wilderness Therapy Expeditions offer students the opportunity to expand their comfort
zones while following our specially designed courses. MILESTONE trips run year-round, with increased
frequency in programming during the summer. The NVW evidenced-based program model is meant to
reinforce the positives of individual success and emphasize group development. The course
culminates in an intense self-reflection process known as solo. Solo is an opportunity to
revisit all that they have overcome and learned throughout the
expedition, as well as construct specific goals for a brighter future.
MILESTONE includes a rigorous adventure component including
backpacking, canoeing, caving, and solo challenge. Therapy is provided 4
days out of the week through intensive individual and group sessions with
a Masters level therapist. Most expeditions are 21 days in duration,
however trip length can vary. A recent physical exam by
a doctor is required in order to participate on a Milestone Trip.
*NVW offers program extensions on an as needed basis, for individual
clients in need of more individualized or longer-term treatment options.*
For Milestone trips during the school year our staff will coordinate
with the students school to provide work while in the field.
