Extended Expeditions with New Vision Wilderness.
Our extended Wilderness Therapy Expeditions offer students the opportunity to expand their comfort
zones while following our specially designed courses. Extended Expeditions run year-round, with
increased frequency in programming during the summer. The NVW 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.
Extended Expeditions 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 from 14-30 days. A recent physical exam by
a doctor is required in order to participate in an Extended Expedition.
*NVW offers program extensions on an as needed basis, for individual
clients in need of more individualized or longer-term treatment options.*
For Extended Expeditions during the school year our staff will coordinate
with the students school to provide work while in the field.
