Camps near Winslow, ME for teens and pre-teens struggling to find their identity in the world

When teenagers are struggling to find their place in the world, they attempt to re-learn how to act, behave, and even dress. Boys and girls just want to fit in somewhere, so they redefine themselves.  The problem is that they look to other teens to teach them.  The issues is, "what if the group they look to are "troubled" or "rebellious" toward authority (especially parental authority)?  The truth is that the world of a teenager is a rough place at all the times.  In the world of a a teenage boy or girl there is very little positive cooperation from peers; there is very little kindness, humility, accountability, or other positive behavioral qualities amongst peers.  Being a teen is very difficult, and its like the "blind leading the blind".  If your child has been caught up in a bad crowd, and is heading in the wrong direction, a specialty camp for troubled teens might be the answer.  Especially if the camp is an early intervention short-term program that is followed with an aftercare program (must include the entire family).    We can help you find the perfect affordable solution.

Most of the troubled youth need strong guidance, structure and discipline, therapy, and the discovery of natural consequences of behavior.  Short-term specialty camps near Winslow, ME might do the trick. In order to become "untroubled" teens need to take responsibility for their choices and hold themselves accountable.  Specialty camps for troubled kids are designed for this purpose.  Specialty camps are short-term programs for kids who are just beginning to spiral out of control.  The camps teach young people to be responsible and accountable (these are life skills that need to be taught and developed) and their lives magically get much better. However, these specialty camps are not long-term solutions. Therefore, we recommend a good aftercare program in Winslow, ME to follow the specialty camp.

Famous QuotesNormal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it. Ellen Goodman

Famous QuotesOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Nelson Mandela I've heard that people stand in bad situations because a relationship like that gets turned up by degrees. It is said that a frog will jump out of a pot of boiling water. Place him in a pot and turn it up a little at a time, and he will stay until he is boiled to death. Us frogs understand this. Deb Caletti, Stay
