Getting Started on the Right Foot — Our Wilderness Program

The early part of life at Shepherd’s Hill Academy is a wilderness program, designed to remove distractions, build trust and foster teamwork. Removing TV, cell phones and other conveniences allows teens to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet simple daily needs requires coping and teamwork skills, pushing teens to consider their obligation to others. As they watch staff and leaders who submit to God as the true Authority, they learn a reference point for themselves and can better relate to authority and to others.

This phase gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and individual liberties are restored. Careful training of parents in our retreats also takes place during this period in preparation for the teen’s return home.

All throughout the program, the teens receive regular counseling and are enrolled in our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, staffed with Georgia certified teachers. We desire students to continue their studies in college, so we include test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our ordinary curriculum.
