These outdoor wilderness programs incorporate traditional therapeutic modalities into a wilderness adventure experience. Students camp in the mountains, desert, or other natural areas, learn to make their food, gather water, and build fire without matches. The natural environment dictates cooperation among participants, which helps to build positive peer relationships.

Wilderness therapy programs have become more popular as independent studies from organizations such as the University of Idaho have shown positive results even a year after students leave the program.

Wilderness programs are a great alternative to Boot Camp Progams.
