Wilderness programs provide an experience for troubled boys and girls who wish to increase their confidence, leadership ability, and level of education.  Some programs are coed for youths age 10 through 19, and activities include backpacking, caving, climbing, rafting and canoeing.

Wilderness therapy programs sometimes referred to as Outdoor Education, have proven themselves to be a great oppertunity for change in troubled teens. Wilderness Programs are a alternative to Military Schools, Boarding Schools, and Substance abuse treatment centers.  This unique experience can be described as a "rite of passage," a transformational process that is difficult to find in our fast-paced, modern society. Therapists and counselors guide teens toward self-reliance and self-respect. The impact of these programs on troubled teens with such behavioral problems as low self-esteem, poor school performance, defiance of authority, depression, and drug or alcohol abuse has been well documented. Parents can feel confident that their children will get the treatment and care they need.

There are still many options available if you do not have a wilderness program in your area. Boarding schools for troubled teens can be very valuable and have an extremely powerful impact. Zion Educational Service's child placing specialists are dedicated to helping families of troubled teenagers find the very best possible solution.
