Elk River Wilderness Challenge

The Elk River Wilderness Challenge is an eight-week adventure and assessment program, providing complete orientation and diagnostic services, supplemented by a clinically supported outdoor challenge. The program is designed for teens ages 12-18 that are experiencing difficulty in school and/or their private and family lives. These teens may experience a wide range of behavioral difficulties and may include (but are not limited to) poor school performance, learning difficulties, ADD/ADHD, defiance, lack of motivation, alcohol and/or drug usage, depression, and mood difficulties. The students are best depicted as "struggling teens".
