Outdoor Adventure Program

The recreation and outdoor adventure program offered at Woodland Hills enhances our therapeutic services. The program has evolved from backpacking and canoeing to natural history and outdoor adventure, yet it’s far more than just recreation. The student-focused activities are a means for young people to uncover inner strengths and potential by learning life and environmental skills. Stepping out of their comfort zone, youth find that outdoor experiences can be applied to every day life. This program taps the interest and creativity of young people and helps them trust others. Outdoor adventure fosters renewed energy and motivation to face new challenges.
