Justin Mawdsley-Weizel, Richard. “Using Outdoors to refocus Teenagers.”

This article focuses on the effect of wilderness on teenagers who haven’t had the change to really experience nature. It talks about a wilderness school in Connecticut and how it takes a group of 90 kids, ten times a summer on a voyage on the Appalachian trail for twenty days to expose them to aspects of nature they haven’t experienced before. The typical kid in the program is usually a volunteer or appointed to do so by a court system. This article is written from an outsider perspective. It’s a news article, so it’s limited in its length, it presents us with an outside perspective as to what this type of a program or experience offers to teens in this situation. Its limitations are that it doesn’t present us a first hand account of what it’s like to undergo the program.
