The Ridge Creek School / Hidden Lake Academy / Anyone go to Wilderness in Utah, 2000

Yeah, I heard about that rebellion too.  One of the staff from HP said that people kept coming into the office thinking they were that one program where the kids rebelled and beat up all the staff, tied them up, and took off in the car.  But the kids at HP definitely would never do that.  Nope, revenge and freedom never crossed my mind.

I was in High Peaks WIlderness Program in Utah from oct-dec 2000, and there were a few HLA people there.  
HPWP has since been shut down by the government, but may be operateing under a different name now.  Does anyone know if or what wilderness program HLA is using now?
I got sent to a place called 'Escuela Caribe' which from what I was told of HLA by the kids at wilderness, makes HLA look easy, but I could be underestimating it. ( nhym-alumni.org. )
I'm specifically trying to find out what happened to Jean-Paul, who got sent to wildeness and left after refusing to do anything and got tied up and dragged through the snow in his underwear for a while.  I'm writing a book about the wilderness program and escuela caribe and would like to talk to him about it.

The Troubled Teen Industry / New List of Reportedly Abusive Programs In Utah

I went to High Peaks on my way to Escuela Caribe in the Dominican Republic, it was more of a holding place til my folks found somewhere else to send me.  
I don;t got a lot of time now, but basically it was starvation, freezinf, constant lying by the incompetant staff, and of course the occasional physical abuse.  I got my lipring twisted, slammed around, remember lying awake listening to Jean Paul screaming as that redneck fucker Colton dragged him through the snow, his hands tied and weaing only long jons.

We are not lying about why we were sent there.
1)our parents were failures at their own goals.
2)they assumed a more militant and authoritarian Christianity would keep us in line.
3)we were living unchristian lives.
