Purposeful activity and time outdoors can help patients reconnect with themselves, develop confidence and experience healthier forms of recreation and social connection. Experiential programming allows skills discussed in treatment to be practiced in active, real-world settings.
Depending on the facility, environment, weather and clinical appropriateness, programming may include guided hiking, nature walks, outdoor fitness, aquatic activities, pickleball, structured recreation, team-building exercises and experiential learning.
Activities are selected with consideration for each patient’s mobility, health, safety and treatment goals. Participation and program availability vary by facility. Outdoor and nature-based experiences complement the clinical treatment plan and are not presented as standalone wilderness therapy.
