Brat Camp
Maybe you have heard the buzz about
brat camp and wonder what exactly a brat camp is. Last summer ABC produced a show called Brat Camp and followed students at a wilderness therapy program in Oregon as they went through the therapeutic experience in the outdoors.
Brat Camp might sound a bit derogatory, but that's just television for you - sensationalizing for the biggest impact. In actuality these are very serious therapeutic programs that have been shown to be highly effective in helping all types of teens who might be struggling at home or at school.
A conclusive study on the effectiveness
of wilderness programs in treating substance abuse issues was published in 2007.
