SNWP Enlists Nature to Reach Troubled Teens

Second Nature Wilderness Program (http://snwp.com) has created an innovative method for reaching troubled teens that is yielding successful results. Instead of intimidating or forceful behavioral correction methods, commonly found in boot camps, Second Nature allows nature to teach youth lessons of consequence and positive motivation. Second Nature believes that by allowing nature to be the teen’s teacher rather than a single identifiable being, the student must stop placing blame externally and engage in internal evaluation.

Second Nature Wilderness Program strongly disputes the enduring efficacy of any boot camp program for troubled youth. Boot camps, by design, are behavior modification paradigms, using coercion and hardship to negatively reinforce appropriate behavior. Second Nature is not a teen boot camp and has no affiliation with any such programs. Second Nature is a wilderness therapy program that provides psychoeducation, sophisticated and individualized therapy, and wilderness realism to highlight choices and consequences for your troubled teen, which aids in guiding students toward long term ambitions.

About Second Nature Wilderness Program
The Second Nature Wilderness Program emphasizes assessment and intervention, with attention to behavioral steadiness, student accountability and preparation for long-term stability and treatment. Unlike boot camp programs for troubled youth, Second Nature integrates the most clinical therapies with necessary behavioral interventions. Instead of teaching by instigating fear in the troubled teen, Second Nature teaches accountability and choice. In both the long and short run, this therapeutic approach has proven to be more effective in changing the lives of troubled teens than any teen boot camp.

Second Nature runs wilderness therapy camps in remote locations in Utah, Oregon, and Georgia.
