CASE STUDY 12: New Hоrizоns is а grоup home thаt operаtes a therapeutic program in a large, mid-western city. The program serves adolescent youth 13 to 17 years of age that are at-risk of serious emotional and behavioral problems. The program serves both males and females. The backgrounds of the youth include broken families, school truancy, and shoplifting to being in state custody as a result of neglect, abuse and abandonment issues. Many of the youth receive counseling and substance abuse services, and some of them are on a daily regimen of psychotropic medications. They tend to be impulsive, to have short attention spans, low frustration tolerance, low self-esteem, and a defensive response to authority figures. Problem-solving skills are limited for some of them as well. Most of the teens in the program have had limited opportunities to be out of the city. The program provides daily care and supervision, after school tutoring, mentoring, family crisis support, and recreational opportunities. Harry, a CYC practitioner at the New Horizons home, had successfully secured a grant to plan and execute an extended summer camping trip for the residents. Harry came to the program with extensive experience, skills, and certification in working with at-risk youth both in the community setting and in outdoor, adventure-based programs. He wanted to include the following activities in the trip: low impact, back-country camping; river and lake canoeing; water and canoe safety; swimming; first aid instruction; food preparation; environmental awareness activities; journal writing, and group initiatives/challenges fostering cooperation and teamwork, problem solving skills, leadership development and personal growth.
