What’s adventure therapy?
Adventure therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses nature, community and exercise to promote healing. The goal is to improve an individual’s physical, social, spiritual and psychological well-being through the healing power of the outdoors with evidence-based, experiential therapy, recreational activities and expeditions.
