[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 349205, member: 2423"] My son attended a wilderness program last summer for 8 weeks. It was set up a little differently. We never talked to him the entire time he was there -- we only communicated through letters, although we talked to his therapist once a week, and we saw pictures of him every week on the program website. At the end of the 8 weeks, we went to the wilderness program for "transition" camp and spent the night with him in the wilderness. We got to talk with his therapist and learn about all our son had learned in his 8 weeks "in the woods." We then transported him ourselves to his longer-term Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Personally, I'm glad we went and spent the time in the wilderness. We did learn a lot about the program and about our son. We also go out to his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) every 10 weeks for parent workshops because we want to see him and we want to learn techniques to parent him better. All of it has been helpful. And yes, all of it has been expensive. [/QUOTE]
