What is a Therapeutic Intensive?

SEK is a Therapeutic Intensive and NOT a traditional summer camp.

A therapeutic intensive is a place to deal with trauma so life can feel more like an adventure every day of the year. Our intensives have a dual focus. We want your child to have fun while learning how to deal with the problems that are preventing them from living their best life. Research suggests that the more adverse childhood experiences we have the more likely we are to suffer from a DSM-V diagnosis. Thankfully, traumas (adverse childhood experiences) are treatable and if dealt with early and effectively we can prevent children from having long-term mental health problems in the future.

We balance therapy and adventure using experiential approaches, teaching of men and women from the Bible who struggled, and farm-life recreational activities
