Ridge Creek Wilderness is a 28 day clinically integrated, outdoor leadership program that combines intensive cognitive-based therapeutic work with wilderness training and adventure.

The therapeutic components are facilitated by full- time Master’s level counselors who are either clinically licensed, or receive formal clinical supervision on a weekly basis. Our professional staff provides a seamless integration of the therapeutic and the outdoor leadership curricula.

Counseling and staff members are immediately available to the field sites working with the wilderness instructors to further develop and individualize student plans. A structured sequential therapeutic model is utilized that allows for in-depth clinical assessment, and treatment customization. Students and their counselors remain together for the entire length of the program in order to develop deep levels of safety and trust within the group
