Successful Wilderness
Experience Complete For Parents & Children
Northstar Center in Bend, Oregon, 503-385-8657, completed
a successful wilderness experience for five sets of parents
and their children in October in the Oregon Cascades. This
experience was not only to give the parents a taste of part
of what their children had been experiencing while enrolled
at Northstar, but through role reversal, the students took
charge of taking care of their parents' needs. The most important
result was all families learned how to work together better
through real tasks in real situations, such as starting a
fire so food could be cooked, preparing shelters for warmth
and protection, etc.
