Summit Achievement

Summit Achievement, an innovative 6-10 week wilderness therapy program, uniquely offers an adventure-based expedition model with a residential campus where students attend classes, in a boarding school type environment, 3 days per week. Located in the beautiful White Mountains Region of Maine, Summit Achievement is also licensed as a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and a non-traditional private school. Guided by positive reinforcement and the power of choice, our unique hybrid design seamlessly integrates five key components: 1. Adventure-based wilderness expeditions - 4 days/3 nights per week 2. Accredited academic classes tailored to each student’s individual needs 3. Residential Community typical of a small therapeutic boarding school 4. Client Centered therapy – incorporating individual, group and family 5. Family inclusion via therapy, phone calls and visits Through this process of combining the best features of a wilderness therapy program with the best features of a special needs boarding school, students experience the therapeutic benefits of exciting outdoor adventures while learning to manage the demands of a more traditional environment. As an intentionally small, owner-operated program, we serve adolescent boys and girls, ages 13-20, from around the world.
