Anasazi is great! They show you how to use simple tools to change your heart to peace and that helps to change you and your child. It was a fabulous experience! I highly recommend Anasazi!
I know a lot of people who have gone through the Anasazi program, including my brother-in-law. It transformed his life! Anasazi Foundation is an amazing program that brings families closer together. I've seen it happen time and time again. It is a phenomenal program.
I have been off the trail for 3 years and still do not go a day with out thinking about my experience at this camp. I went through every type of therapy you could imagine before my parents finally sent me here. No therapy, drugs, test, or time could heal me. This was the only thing that helped me ge...
We love this place! The staff is AMAZING, we have had 3 of our children walk the trail. There is no other program like it! We tried inpatient substance addiction programs that didn t work. You must first learn to love yourself before you can heal and this allows that process to begin. The whole fami...
I have had the opportunity to work with Anasazi on a few different occasions. The staff and everyone there are always happy and friendly.
I know that everyone is unique and has specific circumstances, but my child was able to gain the confidence, strength, and wisdom to change his behavior and overcome his addictions. I as a parent, was able to learn how to increase my love for him, improve my parenting tactics, and better my relatio...
My parents sent me to Anasazi and it was the best experience of my life . The trail walkers are outstanding with all that they do ! I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for Anasazi helping me find myself . Especially my relationship with my parents is amazing now . Thank you Anasazi for every...
I will always be grateful to Anasazi for what they did for my family! They worked with us not only while our daughter was on the trail, but after we brought her home. Their assistance helped us find the right placement for our daughter when she was unable to remain sober after her time on the trail...
Doctors and medication are not the answers ...Anasazi is. Nature therapy is the way. Ezekiel has an amazing family there and really sees everything through with your child. Let's them learn from their mistakes and see the way to put it all behind them and always walk forward. This is the place fo...
I spent 3 months on the trail and it was hard but 19 years later its still some of my best memories and my life is better because of my journey.
Anasazi was the most life changing amazing experience of my life, someone that works there once told me, it would just feel like a short dream, I never believed him until I find myself off the trail often dreaming of going ng back, when I first got there I wanted to leave so bad, by the end I wish I...
A life changing experience. Staff is incomparable. The philosophy offers a new language and fresh perspective on relationships and spirituality. Lots of fun primitive skills are taught by talented humans. Anasazi is a way of life that has forever altered mine for the better. Walk forward, friends!
We have absolutely loved our experience in sending our child to Anasazi. I would recommend this program to anyone.
The best thing you can do for you and your family. Trust me.
My wife and I sent our daughter here. We were amazed how quickly our daughter began to deteriorate from a logical rational individual to an irrational teen ready to make decisions that could have disastrous consequences. We lost all ability to communicate with her and she routinely defied our valu...
After working at Anasazi over a year and a half ago, I still cannot get Anasazi out of my blood! The principles taught, the staff, and the experience, are amazing. My experience was life-changing! I have carried with me the tools, principles, and lessons taught, and implemented them into my own li...
We had heard about Anasazi from a friend and there was a counselor we had known personally. We had done everything else we knew possible for our child and this was our last option. Anasazi was all and more that we hoped it would be. It exceeded our hopes and expectations. We love how the progra...
As a therapist, I've had opportunity to refer to Anasazi. With great success. As a parent, I would not hesitate for a moment in sending my child to these great people for their 'awakening' to their 'walking.'
Safe, beautiful, and effective.
Anasazi is an amazing program that really helps those who experience it. The staff are amazing and friendly as well as the therapists that they employ. My wife went through the program and I have seen the difference it made in her life and the difference it continues to make.
Anasazi transforms lives. I have worked for Anasazi and have had family attend the program. And all I can say is the quality and power from it is unparalleled. Best place on earth.
Best experience of my life and I just worked there. Changed everything for me and my relationships with my family and friends.
Two of my children were leaders at Anasazi. They are forever changed because they learned how to love themselves and others, not judge, and have a heart at peace. Fundamental learning occurs at Anasazi for everyone. It's a gray place to get back in touch with yourself and humanity.
Our family loves the Anasazi program and all that we learned together! We strive to walk forward everyday. We can't recommend this program enough!
Ill be honest, it was the best and worst experience of my life. Worst because of what got me there and how i fought tooth and nail against them for the first week. But Anasazi saved me. They gave me something i never thought i wanted or expected to have. They helped me find myself again and even tho...
The staff were absolute jerks. If you live your children don t send them here
I worked for the Anasazi Foundation this summer. In my work experience I have not found a company with purer motives, better staff, or a more solid philosophy. I've spent the last 9 years working with teenagers in different capacities (ski & gymnastics coach, music instructor, wilderness therapy), a...
I was a young walker from Nov 2005-Jan 2006 and I walked the trial for 9 weeks. ANASAZI was the place that healed my heart and soul and gave me the tools to cope with life.The trail walkers loved me, taught me,sat with me, hiked with me and they helped me see the value and seeds of greatness I have ...
Has anyone out there been forced into the program? if so, was there any benefit?
Our Son went to Anasazi last May; our family was broken. When I found this place I couldn't imagine ANYTHING working, to bring our son back to us. As it turned out our son is still sober!!!! A true miracle, we worked as a family, writing letters, talking to his shadow, and joining him on the trail f...
Anasazi will change your life, give you tools to build and re-build healthy relationships, and is a fabulous, raw way for teenagers to learn responsibility through the ways of Mother Nature. If you're contemplating it, just do it! I worked there in college and witnessed lives changed, including my o...
It's never too late to make a new beginning. I was a client/young walker at 37 years old. Anasazi is a special program with special people. Through them I was able to find the forgiveness, love, and peace, it takes to make new beginnings. Forever Grateful for the extraordinary staff and people at An...
I worked as a trailwalker for Anasazi and I loved every minute of it. The program has a great focus on those in their teenage years and has a program for adults as well. Anasazi Foundation not only works with the individual, it is a group/family effort for the teenager and their parent/parents. I wo...
Outstanding organization that actually cares about the well being of youth and their families.
Anasazi is the best thing that ever happened to our Family!!!!! This is truly Gods work. Don't miss out on this tremendous experience. There is always help if you need it.
Extremely friendly staff. Some of the best people on this earth. This program has been life-altering for countless people. If you or a loved one is struggling, I highly recommend Anasazi
Anasazi changed my life for the better forever! I went there to work as a trail staff to help others who were troubled but what I found was the wilderness and the principles of the program not only changed the lives of hundreds that I worked with but it also changed me in ways I didn t even know I n...
Awesome. It was so comforting to drop our child do the Ansasazi program. The caring staff at Anasazi is unmatched. The staff is extremely professional! No regrets at all!
I worked for ANASAZI as a trailwalker in 2010. Not only did I witness amazing growth in young and sinagua walkers, I myself grew and made changes for the better. Anasazi is life changing and eye opening. The program helps family relationships heal. I would recommend it to anyone!
My wife and I worked for Anasazi as Trail Walker's. It was simply one of the most amazing opportunities I've had. I love seeing the changes the program can make in the hearts of those that participate. I had a couple of my kids contact me years later to let me know how after their time at Anasazi th...
Anasazi changed my life. I meet people that saw me for who I was. Not for what I ve been threw. At home it was harder for my family to do that. Because they were going threw it too. But at Anasazi I meet people that not only listened to my story I had but also the one I wanted to have. And helped me...
Anasazi not only gave my daughter the opportunity to heal, but for all of us to heal. While she was gaining her tools in the wilderness, we were gaining ours at home. Now we can forward walk together, as a family, as it should be. THANK YOU doesn't even cover it! We now how the tools to heal. That a...
Worked here for 5 months, and it was one of the most impactful and significant jobs of my life. It was not easy, but it was definitely worth it. Honestly I learned as much as those in the program, and we all grew to be better people together.
I went into Anasazi when i was 15 years old. It was one of the best experiences of my life. I was pulled out of distraction brought back to rhe basics and was REALLY able to look within at my own intentions and priorties. I evolved into a better person because Anasazi was there for me. Thanks mom an...
My husband was a TrailWalker in the early 90's. I walked the trail last year for a couple seasons as a TrailWalker and later helped facilitate the family camps and in the office. I loved watching the healing process happen right in front of my eyes from the moment the broken families walk in the doo...
This is such a great organization! I've had the opportunity to work with them (on several occasions) to produce content that blesses families. Their primary concern is always, always, always to bring families together again. And their success rate is through the roof! Such wonderful people doing won...
ANASAZI is the best, as anybody familiar knows. The people of ANASAZI understand and then issues oftentimes resolve themselves and everybody grows stronger. Truly a life-changing experience for all involved.
Sure love ya!
Limitless Sky
I was a trailwalker for Anasazi 15 years ago and it shaped who I am today. I hope that's a good thing, my wife would be authority on that subject.
We sent our son here a few months ago. The program is pretty amazing. The people staff trail walkers therapists etc are fantastic and kind and loving. Our son was there for 58 days while he was on the trail we were trained in the Anasazi way at home. Our sons road has been very bumpy even after Anas...
This is a remarkable organization that will help change your life if you let it!
My experience with Anasazi has been twofold, as I had the opportunity to be a participant in the program (a YoungWalker) at the age of sixteen, and then loved it so much I later returned to be a staff member (or TrailWalker).
To say Anasazi changed my life would be an understatement. The people ...
Anasazi is home to me, Anasazi is family to me. I learned about Anasazi at a very young age when one by one my older siblings would leave home and I didn't understand all the details but I knew that something was different when I saw them again weeks later. 4 out of 8 siblings went through the progr...
My son attributed his success in life to his time in Anasazi. He is now 32. He wishes he send his children to Anasazi because of the foundation it gave him.
11 years ago today would be my final week on the trail, 11 years ago my life changed. I was an angry & lost 16 year old kid from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Anasazi has helped me every single day in multiple aspects of my life, those 6 weeks that I saw as a punishment at the time, ended up being the most be...
I was sent to Anasazi in the summer of '99, at the tender age of 16. I had been experiencing considerable turmoil with my parents for a few years at that point, and my self-esteem was nearly non-existent. Thus, I found myself in a perpetual cycle of endless groundings and intense arguments. I bec...
Only true beauty comes from the struggles of life. Through the Anasazi foundation, I have seen more beautiful hearts grow closer to their parents, and parents back to their children. This program grows love and confidence and I as a former trailwalker am proud to have supported it.
This foundation changed my life, I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for my time spent as a young walker here. I learned more during those 6 weeks about myself and understanding people in general. The people's I met there will always have a special place in my heart, they do amazing work an...
It's sort of impossible for me to put into words how much our experience with Anasazi changed our family. Not only did it help our daughter that went on the trail, but they gave us tools as a family that we didnt even know existed. We love Anasazi and will be having all of our children go experience...
My husband was 17 for 1 day when he went to Anasazi- and that was 22 years ago. And to this day he still talks about what he learned there and how it has affected his life. And he still has the skills he learned there. Even though it was a hard experience- he has never once regretted that he was se...
I went to Anasazi 12 years ago to work as a trailwalker. I had the desire to help others. I love youth and felt it gave "troubled" teens a place to go where they would be loved. A place where they would hear about their goodness. The program is amazing. I hope from the bottom of my heart I helped ev...
Many years ago I was a staff member (trail walker) and I really loved to work there and loved the kids that came through. Although there can be challenging times, it's a growing experience. We all learn hopefully to be more humble, appreciate our surroundings and the people we come in contact with...
I went to Anasazi as a "young walker" in 1994 when I was 15 years old. It really helped me gain a sense of my worth as a person and lead me to be aware and accountable for my actions. It also helped me and my parents communicate better. I began to see them as people and not just my parents. I believ...
CAUTION....initally staff is very receptive and accommodating before your child enrolls. But once your child is discharged from program, no one will return your calls or emails. I was promised help with in filing health insurance claims. All false. In fact, Anasazi staff does not know how to fil...
I attended this program when I was a teen. It was awesome! I still hold with me, dear, some things that our trail walkers taught us. One of those things was "Have a heart at peace, not a heart at war.." this was useful for not only internal issues but also nature! For example, wild animals or insect...
We walked with our 2 sons and it was transformative for our family. Forever grateful.
I sent my daughter here 7 years ago as a 16 year old in desperate need of help. I was so nervous about leaving her there, but the genuine kindness and compassion of the Anasazi staff made me feel 100% at peace. Then, my husband and I stayed for a few days for the parent workshop, which just confirme...
Anasazi is a top notch foundation. All of the staff are friendly and are there to help! Highly recommend their program.
Words can not adequately convey the love I have for this program. My 13 year old daughter just returned from the trail and says this saved her life. The magic of Anasazi is unbelievable.
Our family has been associated with Anasazi for over 20 years. Anasazi has had a positive impact on every member of my family and even led to a very happy marriage for one of my sons! The principles of the Anasazi program are based on love and trust, not punishment or coercion, and the ultimate go...
Amazing, life-changing organization! I'd recommend this program to anyone. I LOVE Anasazi!
The Anasazi foundation is a great place to go to and to work for the staff/trail walkers and shadows are amazing!! -Smiling Bear
Anasazi Foundation is a pioneer for wilderness programs geared towards helping the youth help themselves. I have seen firsthand how they have helped some of the people I know, find the right path and get back on their feet. The program provides a great opportunity, not only for for all those involv...
My parents loved me enough to send a "not-so-great-me" to Anasazi when I was 17... They saved my life. I walked with warriors for 53 days. Their message is powerful & changed me deeply.
I was tough... but they just loved me ... no matter how hard I pushed back.
Anasazi is not a cushy dorm room...
Such caring and wonderful people. Highly recommend if you want to see a change of heart in your child. My son is forever changed because of the care and support and love that they showed for him!!!
didn't learn a single thing just a long camping trip
Anasazi changed my life, and I was just there as a Trailwalker. The spirit of love is prevalent among the Anasazi family, and it provides a space for healing, learning, and growing. I am forever grateful for the things I learned and the people I knew there.
I am Whistling Star Meadowlark, and I h...
I worked at Anasazi for the summer season of 2015. The atmosphere was one of the most unique I had encountered at a workplace seeing. My effectiveness as an employee was closely tied to my character and how I saw and treated others. The teens and young adults were incredible examples of determinatio...
The most memorable experience out there for young kids these days!! Any adolescent would benefit from ANASAZI - especially those that struggle with anxiety or self doubt
5 years ago I was "sent away" to Anasazi. As a 15 year old with a traumatic history, I had been through just about every type of therapy my family could find. I was doing drugs, running away, and blinded by a severely abusive relationship. I had no idea what my parents had signed me up for when we m...
I attended Anasazi as a young walker back in 1994-1995, and my little sister also attended Anasazi as a young walker a decade later. I also have several friends who attended the program themselves, or who have sent their own children to Anasazi in recent years.
I can unequivocally say that Anasaz...
Anasazi saved our lives! Having a daughter that was at the edge of life, Anasazi gave her the time and tools she needed to get back on her own two feet. And it gave me the time and tools I needed as well! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!
Changed my life. Forever grateful for the love and trust that exists here.
My husband was a trail walker, and his experience helping kids there and the curriculum they use shapes both our lives still many years later.
We sent our son to Anasazi we were at a loss with him and didn t know how to help him find his way in this life and this foundation has helped us help him what we did not know was how it would change our whole family the way we think and interact with each other and how we look at the world this ex...
I went to Anasazi when I was 17 years old (many years ago!) and to this day it remains one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Anasazi taught me so much more than just how to survive in the desert. The trailwalkers there taught me how to look within and how to accept myself. Lessons I have...
The staff genuinely care about every individual- client, coworkers, families. I found my belonging place through Anasazi Foundation
They walk their talk. Super impressed with the program and the people there. We selected this program because of the kindness displayed, even in their marketing materials, and because they are a true wilderness program. Extremely satisfied. My teen now uses a cactus as his symbol of walking forward.
Anasazi became a part of our lives just a few short years ago, but the lasting impact continues. My child found peace, and I will forever be grateful. My heart found strength, something it had been lacking for several years.
I will always have reverence in my heart for this program.
Easily one of my most important life events was being given the gift of Anasazi. Nothing matches their care, kindness, and patience in each person's walking.
Lead by the most caring staff and inspiring individuals. You will not find such a high intensity of genuine love and patience anywhere as strong as here. Anasazi changed me.
A truly remarkable program. It has been my privilege to associate with the Anasazi Foundation for nearly ten years. I can't think of an organization that has a greater concentration of love than the Anasazi Foundation. Time and time again, I've seen the staff at Anasazi put the safety and well being...
Wonderful, wonderful, WONDERFUL! I have no complaints about the Anasazi Foundation. They have helped SO many people and I am amazed by patience and care of the staff.
I think what I love most about the Anasazi Foundation is that it isn't a program about "fixing" troubled teens, it is a program ab...
Our family was significantly impacted by our walks with Anasazi. We have rediscovered our connections and nurture our relationships because of Anasazi. This program has been changing for our family.
Highly recommend.
This wonderful program I credit with saving my life as a teen. I was in a crisis: I had attempted suicide 3 times and was slowly killing myself through an eating disorder, and my parents were going to send me to a level 14 lock down therapeutic boarding school until 18. I started doing my own resear...
Anasazi changed our lives. I can't praise them enough! The people there are wonderful and so caring. We are forever part of the Anasazi family.
We have been involved with Anasazi for many years. Our first encounter was when our eldest son was a young walker over 13 years ago. He is now 29. Thanks to Anasazi for helping our family get through some difficult times!!
Our daughter has been off the trail now for 1 year. She has so many seeds of greatness and is amazing with the skills and knowledge she learned from Anasazi. She busted one of the biggest coals we've seen in 23 seconds just the other day. Thank you again to your organization and all the trail walker...
The most rewarding organization I ve been a part of. I ve felt privileged to have been an instrument in changing lives.
I have successfully used Anasazi for some of my clients over the past 10 years+, The students come back with great insight about themselves and new maturity. The whole family will grow from the experience at Anasazi. I highly recommend this program.
Anasazi has forever changed my life. I went through Anasazi as a YoungWalker back in 1996 due to some super stupid choices on my part. Long story short, I returned to work there, met my wife there, and continue to be involved as much as I can. Anasazi intervenes in the lives of families in the right...
