Camps near Presque Isle, 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 Presque Isle, 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 Presque Isle, ME to follow the specialty camp.

The best specialty camps for teens and pre-teens provide intensive therapy for special needs kids.  Additionally, these camps provide academic support and family therapy.  These camps are typically short-term programs and are best when combined with a powerful aftercare treatment program.  The aftercare is needed to solidify the improvements achieved through the camp.  Aftercare is usually needed to make the behavioral changes gained permanent - internalized changes. Traditionally after returning from a specialty camp a teen shows dramatic signs of improvement. But to avoid reverting back to the negative behavior aftercare is highly recommended.

Famous QuotesI don't want to live in a world where the strong rule and the weak cower. I'd rather make a place where things are a little quieter. Where trolls stay the hell under their bridges and where elves don't come swooping out to snatch children from their cradles. Where vampires respect the limits, and where the faeries mind their p's and q's. My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your own risk. When things get strange, when what goes bump in the night flicks on the lights, when no one else can help you, give me a call. I'm in the book. Jim Butcher
