Review of True North Wilderness Program

I am so deeply grateful to the True North program,...

I am so deeply grateful to the True North program, the people who execute the vision, and the opportunity for my son to find his potential in life as a result of his 100 days here. Our son was struggling with a sense of purpose, decision-making, and focus. His perspective on what his life could be was taking a turn for the worse. Until True North. Through this program's extraordinary ability to help my son look internally at his needs, wants, and unique capabilities, Z found a sense of community and purpose. He connected to his authentic self. And he became more transparent with his emotional needs and gained the ability to advocate for himself. I'm forever grateful. If you are wondering "can I afford it", please trust that the REAL question to ask yourself is, "can I afford NOT to do it?". If we had not sent Z to True North, we would be back on the merry-go-round of pre-wilderness life, with consequences becoming more dire with each turn. Thank you, True North, Bogie, Peter, Kevin, Guides, Founders, Staff, and Fellow Students. Please accept my deepest admiration for what you do.
