It appears that Aspiro may be one of the good guys in the "business." My son attended last year and speaks of his time there with fondness. He is doing very well now and attributes much of his turnaround to the "awesome staff," and the amazing high adventure activities the kids participate in. From what I have heard and studied, most wilderness programs don't do "fun" activities such as kayaking, caving, rapelling, mountain biking, etc. Also, as parents we were invited to spend time out on the trail with our son and his group... this was an amazing experience and one we'll never forget. The staff we interacted with were obviously caring, passionate and seemed to be there for the right reasons. If my son, or any of those in his different groups were being mistreated, believe me when I tell you, we would have heard about it! We heard about Aspiro from a business colleague who had their daughter attend and they had a glowing experience as well. I know there are some bad seeds out there, but I caution people to look at each place individually...
