The 40-day wilderness intensive for teenagers is our core program. This track is for teens in crisis whose parents have exhausted options in their home community and need a different level of support. The wilderness intensive has produced incredible results in these teens and their families, rebuilding broken relationships, teaching students their true value, and connecting many young people with Jesus. 

In “The Way in the Wilderness” track, teens join a group of peers and staff for a transformative, heart-focused journey in the backcountry. Personalized discipleship, community, Christian counseling, therapeutic groups and assignments, and experiential learning all encourage a process of deep heart restoration, renewed identity, and new hope for life. Parents are given their own learning track at home while their student is in the wilderness, and join their child for a final “graduation trip” to bring it all together.
