Adolescent Outdoor Program

21-Day Adolescent Outdoor Programs at New Vision Wilderness.

Our extended Wilderness Therapy trips offer students the opportunity to expand their
comfort zones while following our specially designed course. This model is meant to
reinforce both the positives of individual success and group development. The course
culminates in an extended solo experience, where participants are provided the
opportunity to revisit all that they have learned, and all their future has to offer them.

Course 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.

Our staff will coordinate with the students school to provide work while in the field.

Our intensive 21-Day
Programs offer students
an amazing opportunity
to grow and learn.
