Program Info:	Wilderness Program The primary mission of Ridge Creek is to operate a 26-day national therapeutic wilderness leadership program for adolescents in grades 8-12. The program has an intense physical component coupled with a counseling and wilderness intervention model. It provides an opportunity for adolescents to think without being mired in the distractions and traps that ordinarily surround them. The goal is to help adolescents consider positive things they can do to eliminate their negative, self-destructive behaviors, and to develop confidence, esteem, and leadership skills that will help them succeed later in life. We also provide aftercare recommendations to the parents, educational consultants, and/or other referral sources of our students."
