My brother went to one of these wilderness camps and the horror stories are almost too sickening to believe. They were forced to drink dirty brown water with bugs swimming around inside of it from the same troughs as animals. A boy in his group was raped by another who convinced him to try to escape with him and then turned on him as soon as they were alone. These kids were abused and had no resources to defend themselves from abuse and isolation. There were kids who had murdered others camping in the same camp with kids who were there for smoking weed. My brother still hasn’t forgiven my parents more than 5 years later.
