The Real "Brat Camp"

Rayne Wolfe of The Press Democrat published a great article about a troubled teenager who was sent to Sage Walk, the wilderness program that was featured last summer on the TV series "Brat Camp." Troy Prokopowich, who fell into drinking and using drugs as a way to escape his emotions, talks about the real "Brat Camp." While he said it was a hard, intense program to go through, he also feels that it was "a life changing experience." Read more about Troy's advice to teens and parents who suspect their children are using drugs online.

Sage Walk, The Wilderness School for troubled teens, is a therapeutic wilderness program that serves as an intense intervention for teenagers struggling with emotional, academic, and/or behavioral problems.
