hey Matt
      It still is in Bath, ME. Also they've
expanded to a second campus in Woodstock,
Conn. The good news I guess is that Hyde's
a lo-calorie version of the programs under
discussion here. The bad is that their vision
is not to be a rehab or even a 'special
school' but a model for all schools. To this
end thev've opened up two 'charter schools',
one in New Haven,Conn. and one in Wash,DC
(These are day schools I think).
      Peace,
        Tommy

I said the same thing, until I did a search of Outward Bound Programs and found this http://public.obusa.net/obpub/crsfndr/o ... ode=VAS199

Voyaguer Ascent is one of their "special" programs. I don't know whether or not it was OB that was recomending Hyde, but that is where his parents were looking to send him. They were already thinking about it before he was sent to the wildnerness program so it could be just a coincidence that they had picked Hyde.

hey Face,
   
    Was Hyde ever a possibility for Alex too?
If so you may have a Hyde parent running
around your community selling Hyde to all
his friends Amway style.

FaceKhan:
No Hyde was never a possibility, mainly because Alex was turning 18 in 4 months from the time he was sent to Alldredge and it was supposed to be a 3 month program. However from some of the posts I have seen from Alldredge parents, it is definitely a stop-off point for kids destined for TBS in the US and in Samoa.

Grab the bag, Face. Heeere's Lonnie!
http://www.strugglingteens.com/parents/findersfees.html
A kind of finders' fee Lonnie didn't mention
though is the kind where program parents are
offered forgivness of fees of some kind for
bringing in new clients. Every kid in town
must look like a junkie to such a parent.
I don't think Hyde pulled that when I was
there but it's been 25 years.
Didn't you say STRAIGHT(r) did that Antigen?
peace
Tommy
