Echo Springs

Echo Springs Transition Study Center empowers young adults to live effective and productive lives. Our students identify their interests, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and learn to manage their challenges. We facilitate the opportunity to re-envision their dreams. Students learn they can accomplish realistic goals. Echo Springs supports students in the transition from passive onlooker to active participants in their own lives. Echo Springs approaches each student as a young adult with a great deal of untapped potential. The intention is to engage them in meaningful, appropriate relationships that foster growth and development. Currently comprised of two campuses, one near Bonners Ferry, Idaho and the second in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho, total capacity allows for 10-20 students in a co-educational setting. Approximate length of the program is anywhere from 6-18 months. Students apply for admission and are accepted based on the current group and our ability to be most effective for their goals. They can apply for the entire program or apply directly into our second "step down" phase. Echo Springs for many participants has three different phases. Students have a variety of options when choosing a job, vocational and educational paths, and a variety of sports, outdoor adventure, and arts. We host international trips throughout the year.
