Wilderness camps review, particularly REDCLIFF

Come to the woods, for here is rest. There is no repose like that of the green deep woods. Here grow the wallflower and the violet. The squirrel will come and sit upon your knee, the logcock will wake you in the morning. Sleep in forgetfulness of all ill. Of all the upness accessible to mortals, there is no upness comparable to the mountains.
-- John Muir

I only caught the lst 15 minutes or so.  I watched as two boys were shown "graduating" which basically consisted of running out of the woods (wilderness camp) into their parents arms.  

The show seemed to be looking at the question of if these camps were a good idea or not, it referred to a case where a little girl had died while attending one.  I assume they covered that earlier in the show before I tuned in.

I wish I has seen the whole thing, I checked their webbsite to see if they are rebroadcasting it, but it doen't appear to be scheduled.

The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. ... All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.
--Hermann Goering, Luftwaffe commander, sentenced to death at Nuremberg
