Alumni Services
“Go forth under the open sky and listen to nature’s teachings.” William Cullen Bryant
After four years of operation, serving hundreds of families from around the country and throughout the world, we are excited to offer these unique programs for alumni students, parents and their friends. Each alumni course has a unique purpose, and yet they are all intended to provide an opportunity for personal renewal and growth, to enhance your connection with nature and community, and to improve your health and well-being. Each course will be guided by many of the Open Sky team members you came to know during your time with us and is based on the core principles that guide all Open Sky Wilderness Therapy programming.
