Knowing your kid’s progress

Before you send your troubled teenage kid to a wilderness camp or program, make sure that you know what is wrong with your child. You can get your own therapist, or ask the camp if their therapist can do the initial evaluation of your kid’s behavior. Such a professional will conduct a series of test.  After that, you can ask around or check online which wilderness program is appropriate. If not, you just follow what the therapist suggests.

Generally, most camps have their own therapists. In fact, they will assign a particular therapist for every teenager’s case. Your kid will be provided with both group and individual therapy. The therapist will then give you weekly report on your teenager’s progress. Also, you will be given a case summary and treatment recommendations.
