While the youth spend five days on the trail and sleeping under the stars in a remote wilderness location, the parents spend their time in a comprehensive two day parent seminar that we call "Family Bootcamp".
Unlike many programs where the focus is soley on the youth, the parent component at the Family Bootcamp is viewed as just as vital as the wilderness experience for the youth. In fact, the program has been designed to deliver intervention for parents. We know from years of experience in working with teens that it is parents who need the treatment as much as it is the teens.
