Field Mentor
Field Mentors are the foundation of our program and a students experience.
They are most importantly responsible for student safety both physically and emotionally.
Mentors operate as frontline staff building relationships with our students.
Field Mentors work closely with the therapist to help implement the treatment plan designed for that week while maintaining the big picture approach for the students and the group.
As such they are part outdoor professional and part mentalhealth professional.
Successful Mentors are passionate about this work have a desire to grow learn and demonstrate patience flexibility.

We utilize an expedition modelwe believe this means that students and staff more fully embrace the wilderness part of wilderness therapy.
An expedition model means that the group is consistently hiking from place to place within our field area.
It provides for one continuous journey that students complete and a deeper connection to the natural world around us.
It also means no time is spent at a basecamp of any kind and that no time is spent simply driving students around or in transition.
Students and staff alike are cooking on open fire sleeping under tarp shelters and embracing the beauty and challenge the wilderness has to provide Current CPR and First Aid Certifications.
The next training runs from August thth.
