Wilderness therapy is actually an experiential program that takes place in a remote outdoor setting or the wilderness. The program includes therapy, counseling, education, leadership training and primitive living challenges. Thus, kids learn honesty, responsibility, accountability, openness and awareness.  The purpose of such a therapy is to remove teenagers from negative influences, and let them discover the safety that the outdoor environment provides them.
