Shouting at the Sky: Troubled Teens and the Promise of the Wild

This book was useful to me as I am writing about a wilderness therapy program in my fourth Sam Westin mystery. I am a great believer in unplugging and enjoying Nature as a mental health exercise for people of all ages. Review by the author of  Endangered (A Sam Westin Mystery Book 1)

I volunteer with variety of groups and this program sounds amazing. Enjoyed it immensely.

I really ended up enjoying this book. It's quite inspiring, and would be great for people of all ages to read and learn from.

Good reference material for those working with troubled kids in the fields of wilderness therapy or adventure therapy.

Important to understand how the program of Open Skies works and its effect on troubled teens.

I bought this book for a psychology paper. It lacked good evidence but what it did show was much more. The most in-depth first person coverage of wilderness therapy I've ever gotten my hands on. Great for any parent considerig wilderness therapy, or anyone working in related fields

My son is currently participating in wilderness camp. This book really helped us understand what he was going through in those first weeks. It also explains the philosophy behind the program.

There should be a sequel called, " Shouting at the Sky II - Parents Who Wish Their Kids Hadn't Died in the Wild under the Care of Charlatans".

I would recommend this book to anyone considering enrolling their child into or with a child in a wilderness program.
