What are the courses in wilderness camps?

Remember that wilderness camps might be similar in their programs. Generally, their aim is to provide a safe and healthy environment for teenagers (troubled or not) so they can become better individuals. They mostly emphasize on “taking responsibility for actions or behaviors.” Thus, they encourage kids to express themselves in ways that might not hurt other people. Here are some examples of wilderness programs:

 * Increasing exercise
 * Developing outdoor skills
 * Learning to work with others
 * Trust-building
 * Problem-solving
 * Guided communication with parents and other family members
 * Developing strong social skills
 * Exploring of personal issues through group processing
 * Developing course goals
