Red Top Meadows has provided Therapeutic Wilderness Experiences for adolescent boys since 1982. These 21-day trips are available to Red Top Meadows residents and non-residents and occur during summer months. Individualized programs for groups from schools, counseling centers, other programs can be arranged and are encouraged.
For information and application, contact Tom Concannon at 307-733-9098.
“There is a million teachable moments in wilderness.”
The trip will help each participant reach these goals by providing individual and group challenges and by encouraging cooperation, forethought and responsibility.
Three Red Top Meadows Wilderness Field Staff lead each group of seven boys. Staff are trained and experienced at managing risk and providing a therapeutic and educational experience in a wilderness setting. A certified therapist supervises the expedition and meets with staff and students weekly in the field.
Parents are asked to meet with their son and staff before each trip to set goals. We meet again at the end of the trip to review progress and create a plan for continued growth and success in the student’s home community.
