Welcome to the W.A.R. Blog!
WAR (Wilderness Adventure Ranch) is an 8-day power-packed program being offered this summer. The program will focus on the WAR each teenager faces inside and at the world around them! WAR will offer Wilderness Adventures & Survival, as well as Leadership & Teambuilding in an environment free from the everyday distractions of life.
WAR is a camp experience for pre-teens for early intervention. This program is for youth beginning to have difficulty managing their anger and emotions, struggling to transition into a place of personal responsibility, and lacking respect for others. The ranch site is at Eagle Village in Hershey, MI.
The outcome of this program includes:
- Gaining a sense of personal self-worth
- Understanding their role on family and community
- Learn the importance of making healthy decisions, and the consequences of unhealthy ones
- Respect for themselves, the boundaries of others and the values of their community
- Realize their potential by taking positive risks and learning new things
- Improves social, emotional and behavioral functioning
- More productive ways of managing daily stressors and conflicts
- Ability to step out of personal comfort zone and try new things
- Positive growth experience for youth
WAR will include intensive programming and structure, skill-building modules, real-life applications and goal setting that are appropriate for each age level.
