Crossings Wilderness Expeditions for Youth is a 49 day experiential program for children dealing with mental health issues. Our program is based in Wrangell Alaska; however, our programs take place in the Tongass National Forest and on the majestic Stikine River. Each program has an ocean canoe expedition, a hiking/mountaineering expedition and, a river expedition (seasonal). This is the framework in which our staff works on individual treatment goals. Each expedition has a total of 9 participants and 3 staff who are trained in both wilderness skills and behavior and group management. It is our goal to give kids the skills they need to deal with the challenges in their lives and help them find support and direction when they return home.
