The Christian Outdoor Leadership Training program (C.O.L.T.) provides troubled teens with help in overcoming the conflicts they are struggling with in an atmosphere of outdoor adventure and a focus on character development. Today's teens face many difficult challenges. COLT is a Christian based program designed to help troubled teens overcome challenges ranging from drug and alcohol abuse, and behavioural problems as well. The COLT experience offers each teen a chance to change their behaviour with adventurous and challenging activities led by our experienced, professional staff.

COLT exists to provide families with options for immediately interrupting dangerous and destructive behaviours in teenagers. We use short term wilderness experiences combined with a long term residential environment when necessary to gain the benefits of each. Our counselling approach involves identifying the underlying causes of the teen’s issues in the context of developing a trusting relationship. As teens recognize the underlying reasons for their conflicts they are able to learn new and successful ways of focusing on life challenges.
