About the Trails Family Institute:
In our experience, students and families see tremendous progress in the wilderness setting, but may struggle to bring those changes home. At Trails Wilderness Treatment Center, we focus intently on involving the family throughout their child's time at our program. This has tremendous impact of improving the likelihood of long-term change for the child and the entire family.
The Trails Family Institute is a one-of-a-kind experiential learning opportunity that is designed to provide concrete skills and training for the entire family. Change doesn't occur overnight and so Family Camp provides an incredible opportunity to understand how to make change last and re-connect family members.

Trails Carolina is a wilderness therapy program based just outside of Asheville, North Carolina that offers a multi-dimensional wilderness therapy model to troubled adolescents, ages 10-17.
