The place is called SageWalk, and it is in Oregon.
I just stumbled upon it while searching for something online. Do any of these names sound familiar? Has anyone on here been to this program? If so, what was it like? I am just curious.
Take a look....
http://www.sagewalk.com/staff.htmSageWalk staff members are highly trained and dedicated individuals. Therapists are Ph.D. and Masters level clinicians, and all staff members have passed through The ?SageWalk Wilderness Skills? training program. Each staff member has also passed a thorough FBI background investigation. SageWalk also maintains a two-on-one practice, never allowing a student and staff member to be alone together. In order to further ensure their safety, all staff members have been trained in first aid, CPR, and all Head Instructors are required to have ?Wilderness First Responder? certification along with outdoor living skills. Our Staff also participate in weekly in-service trainings and briefings.
