​​​​​What

The Therapeutic Adventure Program (TAP) offers a unique form

of counselling that unfolds in the great outdoors. This method

follows the traditional therapeutic framework, but distinguishes

itself by integrating the counselling process with active,

outdoor adventures.

 

Young people engage in meaningful 'work' through direct

involvement in outdoor-based activities, which facilitates personal

growth and healing in a dynamic environment.​
