"The are programs out there that offer custom trips for families. I have been approached to work as a field instructor/guide. The family, the therapist and me. I take care of the logistics side.... gear, food, what were gonna do, where were gonna go. The therapist does his/her thing. The family gets their work done. I think its a great idea. Absolutely awesome. What usually gets in the way (and what got in the way this time) is not money, but time. Somebodys schedule is just too full and its a shame.
I cant rave enough about the concept. Id love to have the opportunity to do this a couple times a year.

Wow. That sounds amazing. It really, really is a shame that parents find it more convenient just to dump their kids by themselves in a program, when it's possible for the whole family to experience the wilderness together. I'm sorry, I don't care what your job is, or your schedual, or whatever, if you have a problem in your family and your kid needs help, nothing should come before that. I give props to any parent willing to go out into the woods with their child and work through their problems together. THAT is a good parent.

With flexible staff anything is possible. A good fit with therapist, field guide and family... have the family pick the location, away you go.People pay a ton of money for specialized vacations - everything from cooking in Tuscany to bird wathing in the Aleutians. It wouldnt take much to put together lesson plans for kids, menu planning for the family and cover the theraputic agenda too. Planning and commitment. And if youre willing to commit to something like this youll probably succeed and take steps forward with your family relationships.

Evidently, they didn't get your mail. Curious, huh?
