Our child and adolescent therapists will work collaboratively with campers to develop an individualized plan specifically tailored to meet their individual camp goals. Campers will face their fears through fun, adventure-based activities like the zip line, trapeze, and hiking. Therapists will take a compassionate, skills building approach to the weekend, incorporating evidence-based treatment interventions (i.e., cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)).
