Camp E-How-Kee is a private, outdoor residential
treatment program for boys and girls ages 10-17, owned and
operated by Eckerd Youth Alternatives. The name E-How-Kee
means "their open door" in the Muskokee Indian language.
Established in 1968, E-How-Kee was the first of 18 Outdoor
Therapeutic Treatment Programs designed by Eckerd to help
troubled youth.
The program "provides behaviorally challenged boys and
girls with the skills necessary to turn their lives around
and reach their full potential." It focuses on building
self-confidence, developing respect for others, accepting
personal responsibility and making good decisions.
E-How-Kee utilizes the therapeutic potential of every activity
for learning and personal growth. The Eight Essential Elements
for Positive Change are the key therapeutic components of
E-How-Kee and all Eckerd youth residential programs. These
include strength-based focus, therapeutic environment, therapeutic
alliances, therapeutic group living, individual treatment,
safety, family services, and education and instructional approaches.
E-How-Kee is nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation,
the Florida Department of Education and the Southern Association
of Colleges & Schools. The program accepts private referrals
from families, educational consultants, psychologists or agencies.
EYA also offers student loan programs.
