RedCliff Ascent is a therapeutic wilderness program for adolescents who are on a Developmental Vacation ™, our term for a disrupted or incomplete pattern of development. In addition to being developmentally stalled, our students have other diagnoses such as ADHD, ODD, bipolar mood disorder, etc. They lack the coping mechanisms, competencies and discipline necessary to manage their lives at an age appropriate level.

We help the student and family understand how a specific cluster of symptoms associated with their diagnosis has impacted the student's developmental progression. RedCliff's therapeutic process disrupts the Developmental Vacation ™ and reintegrates the student into the appropriate developmental progression.

There are seven reasons why RedCliff Ascent is the premier therapeutic wilderness program. Those factors are:
•  Developmental Model
•  Operational Maturity
•  Safety & Risk Management
•  Staff
•  Research
•  Academics
•  Cost/value

Since 1993, RedCliff Ascent has helped more than 4,000 students and their families. We continue to lead the industry in safety, therapeutic excellence and value.

Because we have proven therapeutic and operational systems in place we have the latitude of spending energy and resources on innovative program refinements. These improvements enable us to decrease length of stay and ease the financial burden on families, while still providing a highly effective therapeutic experience.
