I was sent to one of these programs when i was 13. Two guys came to my house and picked me up in the middle of the night and traveled with me to a wilderness program in the north georgia mountains. That ended up turning into a 20 momth stay at their "Therapeutic Boarding School".
About 5 years later the students burned the school down and i got about $2000 dollars in a class action lawsuit because they were hiring untrained therapists and admitting students who they knew were a risk to others around them.
The schools was Hidden Lake Academy anf the wilderness program was Ridge Creek Academy
AMA if anyone is interested.
- anoonmoose 5y agoOnly question I have is- do you still talk to the people who chose to have you sent there?
- anm89 5y agoI do not
- rOOb85 5y agoThis is so weird and could definitely identify myself, but... I was sent to a therapeutic boarding school called elan. A month or two after I got home my best friend was "taken" and did outward bound then got sent to hidden lakes in GA. I still remember the first time I saw him a year or two later... He was home on a visit and snuck out of his house and rode his bike to our friends house. We got really baked and he got all serious and was like "Guys.... Do I have an accent now? I fucking hate how the people down there talk" lol
