Second Nature Wilderness Program
Anonymous:
Kids who are sent to a wilderness program have pretty much abandoned the educational opportunities they had at home. 8 weeks or so without schooling is not the end of the world.
The kids can write freely and express their opinions. They get in excellent physical condition and have a lot of pride in what they accomplish. Those with serious addiction issues usually are not able to maintain sobriety after leaving the program if they go right home.
The bunch of Mormons that run Second Nature are skilled, intelligent and caring.

I don't get it. How do they get parents to enroll their child in a program that will automatically cause an already struggling student to fall even further behind in school? Unless the child is registered with the school district as a homeschooler, how can this even be legal?

Several aquaintances have sent their children to Second Nature or Katherine Free. It sounded weird to me but I just assumed I didn't understand it. I thought maybe these courses were more like sleep-away camps but where there's a little school-house out in the woods where they do lessons during the day or something.

You'll fail the entire semester if you miss 8 weeks.
