The information contained in this web site is designed to introduce you to the Crossings Wilderness Expeditions for Youth (CWEY) program offered by Wrangell Community Services.

Teenage years can be confusing and troubling times. Our innovative approach to working with young men and women is only one link in a process designed to help build and repair bridges that span the teenage years. The wilderness tripping component provides the context for an intense program of personal exploration and development. The journey that these young people take is not about the miles made paddling a canoe or climbing a mountain, it is about the progress that is made toward becoming a self confident well adjusted young adult.

Crossings is about people and the potential that we all carry within us. By working together with community based professionals, we not only provide an exciting "turn around" wilderness program, but also, ensure treatment objectives follow the youth home to their family community and referring agencies.

We look forward to meeting you and encourage all who undertake this program to relish the journey for they may never cross this way again.
