The Benefits of Wilderness

Our Wilderness Program provides your teen with an opportunity to be challenged in maturity. The unique benefit of our Wilderness Program is that your child will be removed from the temptations present to them in today's culture. During this separation they are able to mature in character development. If you are looking for your child to be in perpetual comfort, a wilderness-style program may not be for you. However, if you are looking for perhaps your child’s greatest opportunity for healing and a diminished sense of entitlement, all while creating for himself a sense of significance, identity, humility, and gratitude, then SHA may be a fit for your teen. Science, statistics, and history, all give evidence for the effectiveness of wilderness-style care toward heart change. And with a Christ-centered approach, the results improve exponentially.

Our Therapeutic Approach

SHA serves 12-17 year old students, and our program is for a year. Our residential boarding school provides a dynamic approach to therapeutic healing in the individual, the family, and to our culture.

Everything we do in our therapeutic boarding school is designed for therapeutic value and teachable moments–whether it is in school, sports, work, or in the wilderness area. Our teachers, campus therapists, program supervisors, and residential staff are all unified in your teen’s therapeutic goals and regularly meet to discuss progress. Our 24/7 care provides your teenager with the opportunity to grow spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically, through individual, group, and family therapeutic activities and counseling.
