Christian Outdoor Leadership Training

Program Description

The Christian Outdoor Leadership Training program (C.O.L.T.) provides troubled teens with help in overcoming the conflicts they are struggling with in an atmosphere of outdoor adventure and a focus on character development. Today's teens face many difficult challenges. COLT is a Christian based program designed to help troubled teens overcome challenges ranging from drug and alcohol abuse, and behavioral problems as well. The COLT experience offers each teen a chance to change their behavior with adventurous and challenging activities led by our experienced, professional staff.

COLT exists to provide families with options for immediately interrupting dangerous and destructive behaviors in teenagers. We use short term wilderness experiences combined with a long term residential environment when necessary to gain the benefits of each. Our counseling approach involves identifying the underlying causes of the teen's issues in the context of developing a trusting relationship. As teens recognize the underlying reasons for their conflicts they are able to learn new and successful ways of focusing on life challenges.

If your child is in need of counseling and temporary removal from the home, consider a program like COLT. When a teen becomes rebellious and unmanageable, parents look for a solution such as a boarding school, but most boarding schools don't offer the therapeutic treatment available at COLT. Our program is specifically designed to work with and solve troubled teen issues. Among the handful of Christian-focused programs, COLT has gained a reputation as one of the most effective.
