Wilderness Retreats

Many parents consider wilderness retreats for their struggling teens. Man has long recognized the power of nature and many find the wilderness the perfect location for gaining inspiration, delving into self-discovery, and preparing for significant life changes. Powerful lessons can be learned at wilderness retreats. For example, teens can learn about choice and consequence in a natural way by learning that a failure to cooperate and participate in gathering wood will leave them lacking a fire to warm themselves by and eating food that is too chilled to be pleasant.

Many parents like the idea of having their teens learn to rough it, but for many, wilderness retreats seem a bit too extreme and dangerous. When teenagers are led into the mountains or desert for weeks at a time, the regimen may seem too emotionally and physically grueling. Furthermore, many wilderness retreats for troubled teens prohibit contact with parents or anyone else during the session.

For some, wilderness retreats do have a significant and positive effect, and all goes well. For others, however, a different treatment plan is more suitable. It is possible to have the best of both worlds, and teens at Liahona Academy have all the comforts of home–as well as the beauty and inspiration of nature on a daily basis.
