When our son became impossible to manage, our therapist recommended "Wilderness Therapy" a brand new term to us. We are so happy to have discovered RedCliffAscent. We were initially attracted by its report of positive one year outcomes, its long tradition, and no frills "nomadic" hiking. Other cam...
RedCliff Ascent was my son's 4th placement in a year and by far the best! It provided a safe environment to allow my son to grow and learn. One thing that is truly amazing about wilderness is the opportunity to cut out all distractions. The entire staff are in unison and really help to foster the b...
We had an amazing experience with the staff at RCA! We cannot begin to express our gratitude to everyone there who impacted our son and helped him along his continued path to health and recovery. Kaylie and John, there are no words. You held our son in such a caring and safe environment. It is scary...
My son entered into treatment unwilling to talk about any of the things he was feeling or accept help on how to deal with his anger. His therapist and the staff have given my son TONS of tools to deal with life. I am so grateful that they were able to reach him when I was simply not able to get th...
I went to RCA and it was the worst experience of my life! There were several times I had to hike miles with out water. I injured my leg and the next day they made me hike the hardest mountain at RCA. I still to this day have nightmares about this place. This place will not make your children respec...
I was able to witness RedCliff Ascent in the field and was impressed by the staff and participants. They provide a much-needed service for these young adults.

I ended up graduating and being one of the first new groups called the ravens it was good and bad times. Now I m preparing myself and getting ready to be a field staf...
RedCliff Ascent was absolutely the best decision we could have made for our 16 year old daughter. She was really struggling and RedCliff helped to stabilize her and give her some tools to manage and cope with her emotional issues. I can't express enough, how loving and caring all the staff and clini...
Do not trust any review unless it was from someone who actually was here and went through this. I was sent here when I was 15/16. It is child abuse. I witnessed children my age get very sick, some with ecoli, and were denied care. We drank water with maggots in it. I Lost 20 pounds here and felt li...
A few months ago we made one of the most difficult decisions of our lives, and it has turned out to be a life changer. Our son crashed and burned in front of our eyes, especially with the covid lock downs, and now we have him back healthy, disciplined and more aware than he would be without Wilderne...
