Redcliff Ascent

Company Description

The RedCliff Ascent program has guided troubled teens and their families to the help they need for almost 20 years. RedCliff Ascent is a therapeutic wilderness program for troubled teens ages 13-17 who are on a developmental vacation, the term for a disrupted or incomplete pattern of development.

Located on the high desert plateaus of Southern Utah, RedCliff Ascent covers an area of approximately 650 square miles. RedCliff is not a boot camp, adventure camp, or any other kind of camp. This model of teen help is based on respect, trust, and the understanding that your child is more than just a diagnosis. Founded in 1993, RedCliff is different from any other kind of wilderness therapy program because of offering a level of clinical sophistication that is unmatched. RedCliff therapists don’t just hold therapy sessions in the outdoors. They understand how to use the environment as a clinical tool.
