New
Wilderness Programs Extend Aspen’s Services Further
East
Cerritos,
Calif., August 8, 2003 – Aspen Education Group, a
leading provider of educational programs that promote
academic and personal growth to youth and their families,
recently opened Lone Star Expeditions in Texas, and
Adirondack Leadership Expeditions in New York. The
outdoor education programs help under-achieving teens
realize their potential and strengthen family relationships.
According to Sue Crowell, Sr. Vice President of Aspen’s
Outdoor Education Division, “one of Aspen’s strategies
is to locate services closer to regional population
centers.”
Lone
Star Expeditions is
a short-term therapeutic intervention that combines
traditional therapy in an outdoor setting that motivates
students in exploring their character in a safe,
but challenging environment. Located north of Houston,
Lone Star is a licensed treatment program with a
focus on assessment, intervention, and aftercare.
As students progress through the program’s sophisticated
level system, students experience success and develop
healthy self-esteem. Lone Star services are conducted
by master’s and doctorate level therapists who manage
an individualized treatment plan, and weekly family
therapy sessions.
Adirondack
Leadership Expeditions
is a character development program that promotes
personal growth. The forested, mountain setting removes
urban distractions and simplifies options to help
students gain insight into their core values and
accept responsibility for their choices. Adirondack’s
nurturing approach helps students address personal
issues, achieve success in a safe environment, and
develop their leadership potential. Set in the beautiful
Adirondack mountains near Saranac Lake, New York,
the program offers individualized treatment plans,
flexible lengths of stay, master's and doctorate
level therapists, individual counseling, and a powerful
family component.
Aspen
Education Group headquartered
in Cerritos, California, currently operates 42 programs
in 10 states, including twelve residential schools,
seven outdoor education programs, and four special
education schools. Aspen employs over 1,400 employees
nationwide and served more than 10,000 young people

tomorrow".
