A Typical Day at SUWS Seasons

Each day of the Seasons wilderness program for preteens is designed to meet the specific needs of children ages 10 to 13 through hands-on learning and plenty of fun. Although the daily schedule varies depending on the needs and goals of the group, a typical day may include the following activities:

Hikes and experiential activities in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina
Individual therapy weekly and group processing sessions daily
Animal-assisted therapy with licensed therapy dogs
Quiet time to write letters home, rest and play games
Team-building initiatives on our therapeutic ropes course
Earn tokens for positive behavior which they can exchange at the “traveling store” for special toys and treats
