I graduated on August 28, 2018. I found TN to be super helpful to me and my peers. I made bonds with people I will never forget. I loved all of my guides and they never forced me to do anything. I recommend sending your kid here. People who say there was a lack of food were lying. If you run out of food you get extra rations, and if you can't get a fire started, your guides have a lighter. Not too hard like places in Utah. Course leader Evan O. was very supportive and nice. avg stay about 80-105 days.

I forgot to mention that I never went to a program after, I went to the high school I had always wanted to go to and am super happy with the way I turned out. I would not listen to reviews written by parents because they weren't there and had no experience. Also you get to see your parents at around the halfway mark, which is nice. Bad reviews are sometimes accurate and things that could be better are the food, the tools, and the curriculum. Don't listen if therapist says not to stay in touch, its made me good friends for life. Don't expect someone to not talk to their new family, because that's what happens when you live with a group of guys or girls for 3 months.
