SUWS Adolescent Wilderness Program   border=
SUWS Adolescent specializes in helping struggling teens ages 14-17with behavioral and emotional problems. Operating in southern Idaho since 1981, SUWS has assisted young people with identifying and working through internal conflicts and emotional obstacles that have kept them from responding to parental efforts, schools, and treatment. These are children who are inherently good and have the ability to be successful, but because of unhealthy misperceptions about themselves, they have limited access to their own abilities and strengths. SUWS provides families with a safe and immediate intervention by utilizing its search and rescue metaphor, individualized treatment plans, and flexible length of stay. The outdoor environment and experiential learning help students recognize and build upon their own sense of self-worth as they learn the value of helping others.

SUWS Youth Wilderness Program   border=
Working with the distinctive needs of 11-13 year olds, the minimum 28-day SUWS Youth Wilderness Program offers a highly structured environment that provides each child with a positive and rewarding learning experience. The concrete thinking inherent in this age group requires tangible learning experiences from which to build. Our base camp model provides safety, security and predictability. The program's high staff-to-student ratio and personalized treatment plans ensure emotional growth and increased awareness of self and others. Unique in that the Youth Program uses llamas in the therapeutic process, a child has the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in developing responsibility and care-giving skills. Twenty-eight day courses begin every week.
