Wilderness program for unmotivated video-gamer son

Wilderness program for unmotivated video-gamer son

May 2006

Has anyone tried or heard about a good wildnerness program for teens (1 week to 10 days only)? I am looking for my unmotivated, obsessed to World of Warcraft video-gamer son. Thanks --always hopeful mom

My son loved Adventure Treks....look them up on their website. They combined wonderful, challenging experiences with great leadership building since the teens have to set up camp each night, cook and clean. He did the trip where they go to Oregon and Washington and backpack, climb mountains, kayak, etc. anon

For the video-gamer son who need a Good Wilderness Program. Have you heard of Camp Chrysalis. This camp is the best. Call Lee Tempkin at 843-6157 or e-mail him at ltempkin@earthlink.net. or Michael Rossman at 849-1154 or mrossman@sbcglobal.net. They are the directors of this camp. The website is www.campchrysalis.com. They have different sessions and prices. My daughter, 16, has been going for years and would not want to miss it. This is just a wonderful camp. Please inquire.

I've heard raves about Camp Chrysalis from young teens and preteens. But I'm not sure if it has older teens good luck

Camp Unalayee www.unalayee.org It's in the Trinity Alps and they have backpacking trips for teenagers in a stunning and pristine area of Northern California wilderness lover

One of the best around is second nature. However, you will need more then 10 days. World of Warcaft is worse than cocaine. Your kids health may depend on you getting him off the game no matter what it takes even if the counsler thinks it is to drastic. This also goes for the mother who wrote in about her 14 year old son spending to much time on the computer . Throw the computer out if you have to dad who has seen it first hand
