Teen Discovery Costa Rica is a short Term (typically 8-12 weeks*) wake-up and refocus program
for Teens who need a Alternative for the summer or a simple reality check and wake-up call any time year round. We are here to help during any type of Crisis that the family might be experiencing in the
process. Our Program is simular to most Boot Camps, Military Schools,
or other boarding schools for troubled Teens in that we have a strict daily structure that teaches respect and self discipline. but also has a
Therapeutic component as found in most Wilderness Therapy Processes and
other troubled youth programs.
This
program works well for the Adolescent who is struggling in his home
school or the community, as well as the child who might not have yet
taken the plunge off the deep edge; but with Failing grades in school and a
need to get caught up with the rest of their class, to basic disrespect
to parents, and even in some cases evidences of possible drug use, Teen
Discovery works with first the Student that is having problems;
then holistically with Parents and siblings to restore the Family to a functional
Unit.
The facts are that the Student who is dysfunctional and acting out often must be
removed for a time from the family to allow for it to heal and change
and forthe
student to change and refocus their lives. By attending Teen Discovery
this natural distance begins this process. The fact they are in another
place other than home and unfamiliar
surrounding immediately starts the process of positive change. Finding
themselves in entirely new surroundings, teens tend to be much more
teachable and open to new directions.
Our Process is well suited for
students with add, adhd, aspergers syndrome, Oppositional Defiant and
autism or just plain rebellious or defiant in nature. This is all part of the Basic 7 Dynamics of Change TM discussed under
our Location and Philosophy page...Again experience has shown that a
unfamiliar surroundings and culture not only facilitates change and
perspective, but at Teen Discovery in Costa Rica this also creates the kinds of memories
and experiences that they are likely to appreciate the rest of their
lives.
