Clinically developed for teens, ages 13-17, Second Nature utilizes a clinically-sophisticated model (which includes individual and group therapy), ceremony, metaphor, and affinity for the healing power of nature, to promote resiliency, healthy choices, and real change. Second Nature's clinically integrated approach, renowned staff retention, family support, and legendary customer service translate to an unparalleled experience and better outcomes for adolescents and families.

Second Nature has transformed nature-based therapy through its extensive network of basecamps. These basecamps, dispersed across a wide region, offer groups the flexibility to hike to different locations, creating a dynamic and engaging experience that promotes adventure and independence, and allows for extra comfort after a week of adventure.
