I was sent here at 13 years old. We only had a Billy bath once every 2 months (Shower using cans of boiled water and scrub with a bandanna) and sometimes even the staff watch you do it.

Don't send your child here, they abuse you. They abused me.

The world is moving so fast and there is so much extraneous stimuli that we can't keep out or away. Elements provided my son with beautiful, natural environments of peace and calm that allowed him to take the space he needed to access the true healing being offered. This integration of place and people is the biggest contributing factor to our progress ... read more

This is a wonderful program. I am a parent. When I was looking into wilderness opportunities for my child, I was scared. After experiencing it, I think it was the least scary thing possible. It is secure, safe and loving.
