Young Wilderness helps at-risk youth learn confidence and independence through encounters with the wilderness.  Our hope is that by giving teenagers a meaningful experience in taking care of themselves in unpredictable (but monitored) wilderness survival situations, we can help them unlock inner resources of self-reliance and creative problem solving that will serve them the rest of their lives.
