But most parents would not survive this ....

A mom is on wilderness trek and she learns something from it.

but putting them on a normal course lasting for 6 weeks or more would properly kill most of them off.

How many of your parents have bragged about your ordeal being something they would be able to handle anytime? That your wilderness experience is nothing. Maybe it is time to introduce them for the possibilty of them going there themselves.

Unfortunately I don't think that adult can book a course, which an unspecific startdate. It would be very realistic if the course could be booked in such a way that your mon or dad only know when the course starts when the transport team shows up at the frontdoor.

I also think that such programs for adults are too short in order to compare them with those, who they are putting their children through.

It all sounds great on paper. Forcing a kid to do fun things, it sounds like it would help and the images one gets of summer camp and all that are just not true. The reality is much ugly than the words would have you believe. People tend to have to learn this the hard way though, well, at least hteir children do. Many parents never do realize what it's all about, they like to purchase lies.
