[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 177466, member: 3419"] They've got a very nice website but I could tell from the wording and photos that it would be pricey. No surprise to read Witz's guess at $35k. That's actually a typical boarding school price. Do you know anyone personally who has sent their kids there? We took a chance with-our son in the wilderness camp, but it's only a month, and not quite enough $ to need a loan. I'm not sure what sorts of behaviors you're looking for in regard to this school. Do you think that a change of pace would be enough of a shock to keep your difficult child in line better? They do have counselors and they do talk about difficult issues, so the kids can't get out of that. They have to earn their fun time--snowboarding, etc.--so fun stuff isn't guaranteed. Sounds like a pretty typical set up. I'm not so sure how a kid would ditch the system when they're located so far away from everything ... I suppose kids can arrange anything if they really want to. I know that my difficult child wouldn't ditch the program ... he would call home and tell us he's miserable, first. Remind me how old your kids are again? [/QUOTE]
