A word from past attendees of the Wilderness Therapy Symposium:
I have attended all of the Wilderness Therapy Symposiums at Naropa University and have found the experience both personally and professionally enriching. The knowledge and experience of the conference presenters is clearly the cutting edge of the field of wilderness therapy… This is a must for all who work in this field.
Will White LCSW, Clinical Director, Summit Achievement
The Wilderness Therapy Symposium is the best conference I have ever attended in any field. The participants were open, friendly, collaborative and everyone came to learn from each other. There was as much knowledge and wisdom passed between participants outside of sessions as there was presented during the excellent formal talks. It continues to be the most valuable conference I attend each year, and the best training experience for my clinical staff.
Greta Lutman-Jefferys, Clinical Director, SUWS of the Carolinas
The best training we've ever sent our therapists to. They came back to work refreshed, with a new sense of contributing to the health and well being of our youth.
Sue Crowell, VP of Wilderness Programming, Aspen Education Group
