Family Adventures

Family Adventures is a customized multi-day family therapy experience capitalizing on the dynamic healing aspects of a shared wilderness adventure.

Family Adventures is designed to provide families with the opportunity to harness their resources and rediscover their sense of family. A structured daily program allows families to develop their strengths in a fun and engaging atmosphere.

Programs may be booked as individual family outings or multiple family group experiences. Come explore the beauty of Oregon or we’ll come to you. Completely customized programs are available and may be arranged throughout the United States or abroad.

Family Adventures is ideal for families whose children are graduating from residential treatment or wilderness therapy programs. We will provide a transition experience to support emotional reattachment and ensure that the family is prepared to integrate their “new” child back into the family.

Family Adventures is so effective at unifying families that a successful adventure is not our biggest challenge. The real test is helping families to transfer the skills back to their home environment. Dr. Bandoroff is committed to working closely with the family or the family’s therapist to ensure that the gains are maintained.

Family Challenge

Enjoy a day on the Challenge Course with your family. Ropes Courses offer a great venue for strengthening family relationships while having fun. The support of other families is an important ingredient in the success of the experience. It's a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with your family while deepening your family's connection. Contact us for the dates of the next Family Challenge Day or schedule your own program and invite families with whom you want to share the experience.
