Gook once posted a thread asking if people knew anything About programs in other countries. I read an article  about adolescent girls in the melbourne Age and this place was mentioned. Below is it's website and a couple of TV chat show fluff pieces largely for the purposes of promotion. it looks to be an interesting idea. Fathers and their early adolescent sons or mothers and daughters go camping in the bush for 5 days. The male one seems all about mountain men stuff but they mentioned the female one involved cabins and proper showers. The emphasis is apparently on the parent spending time with the kid and building them up. One slant i liked was that it talked a lot about busy parents having to leave behind their phones and work stuff as opposed to talking about how entitled the kid was and why this meant taking away things from them.

It was oddly secretive about what the workshops and activities involved. I don't know if this was because of copy right issues, or because it was some kind of odd Lgat thing or because boys like all of that secret mens business crap. What do people think. Could this be what American wilderness should aim for or is it a softer way to penetrate the Oz market to make way for tougher programs?

gook = a fairly rude way to refer to Koreans and other Asians.


Other than that interesting post I'll look it over when I have more time.
