Legacy Outdoor Adventures is a wilderness therapy program for young adult and older adolescent males struggling with substance abuse, emotional and behavioral issues, and lack of motivation and purpose. We integrate adventure therapy with a powerful wilderness experience to guide our clients on a journey of self-discovery and transition to responsible manhood.The Legacy experience is based on a high degree of individualized attention and personalized treatment, including a high staff-to-client ratio; a therapist, substance abuse counselor and staff mentor assigned to work individually with every client, and mature and experienced field guides who role model a healthy recovery lifestyle. Legacy integrates engaging adventure therapy with the power of wilderness therapy by carrying out a weekly adventure within the context of the wilderness expedition. At the core of Legacy’s ideology is the “Legacy Way of Being,” which is grounded in having a heart at peace, and embraces recovery, honorable manhood, and self-awareness. The Legacy experience helps each young man identify and develop his strengths, guides each on his own hero’s journey, and cultivates in each responsible individual agency.
