For those who have attended troubled teen camps, what were your most memorable experiences—both good and bad?
I only have personal insights, but I can share some common experiences that people often mention.
Best Experience: Many individuals reflect positively on the bonds formed with peers. Despite the tough circumstances, some find camaraderie and support in sharing their stories. These friendships can sometimes last a lifetime, helping them feel less alone in their struggles. Additionally, some people appreciate the skills they gained, like resilience, self-awareness, and coping mechanisms.
Worst Experience: On the downside, many recount harsh treatment or unqualified staff that made their situation more challenging. Some feel that the environment was more punitive than therapeutic, leading to feelings of isolation rather than healing. Others mention feeling misunderstood or judged, which further complicated their ability to open up and address their issues.
It can be a mixed bag, with each experience being unique depending on the individual and the camp itself. If you’re considering sharing your own experiences, I’d love to hear about them!
