In the wilderness, young people are removed from the distractions and luxuries of their daily lives.
Nothing comes easy.
Consequences are not distributed by an authority figure of questionable motives and fairness, but by Nature in her simple, direct way. It is our belief that until young people experience the negative consequences of their choices, they won't experience their behavior as a problem. Wilderness living provides a naturally healing environment. This occurs in a setting where one naturally explores the meaning of solitude, daily work, play, and relationships, as well as life's larger spiritual questions.
