True North Wilderness Program

True North is a wilderness therapy and therapeutic wellness program based in Waitsfield, Vermont. Its current website identifies the main office at 340 Mad River Park in Waitsfield and describes a young-adult therapeutic wellness program in the Mad River Valley.

A True North brochure prepared for a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont pilot program describes the program as an intensive therapeutic intervention in outdoor settings in Central Vermont. The brochure states that True North works with adolescents ages 14 to 17 and young adults ages 18 to 25, while the current homepage describes young-adult services for ages 18 to 28.

The program model described in public materials includes field-based therapy, parent work, 24-hour guide support, small outdoor groups, hiking, backpacking, camping, and adventure activities. Public advocacy directories report that True North opened in 2005.
