blueFire Embers Program for Young Boys

blueFire’s Embers Program was created with young boys in mind. This wilderness therapy program offers support to young boys ages 11-15. We help students that may be struggling with one or more of the following issues: grief or loss, low self-esteem, anger, adoption issues, trauma, learning disabilities, school refusal or failure, social struggles, executive functioning issues and may have a long history of behavioral or emotional problems.

Teaching Important and Useful Skills

Throughout this program, we focus on teaching and developing skills that will be transferable to the real world. Our students learn healthy coping skills, communication skills, organizational skills, and much more.

A combination of of individual, group, equine and family therapy are used to help students focus on their own behaviors, identify their feelings, understand where those feelings are coming from and learn healthy ways to cope with those feelings.

By removing young boys from their fast-paced lives and away from distractions, they are better able to engage and reflect on their own behaviors and the way that these behaviors impact the world around them. Embers sees the value in experiential learning as every step of this journey serves as a teachable moment for students to grow and improve from.
