True North is an exceptional place where teens and young adults receive impeccable care recovering from a spectrum of challenges and hardships. I am a parent alum and can honestly say True North saved my son s life and saved our family. The staff is kind, responsible and highly trained. The environment they create offers the participants an immersion into living in the natural surroundings of the forest where they can focus deeply on themselves and gain confidence and skills in living off the land, and being responsible for themselves. The lodgings are rustic, exceptionally safe and warm. The kids get plenty of healthy food and tons of fresh air. My son left strong, healthy and ready to move forward with his life. True North is a place of kindness, encouragement and safety. I would recommend it highly to any family who is considering it. I have never seen such a supportive community that works with teens and young adults, and True North has an exquisite track record and reputation, among alumni participants and their parents.
