These camps are for young people with behavioral or emotional issues, family issues or who generally are at-risk. Goals include increasing participants' sense of personal confidence and cooperation, respect and support within a group or family through therapeutic services, experiencing new outdoor skills and problem-solving with a diversity of people. Activities vary depending on location but can include hiking, backpacking, kayaking, canoeing and fishing. Some private insurance and Medicaid may cover part or all of the costs for these counseling camps.
