78. Open Sky Wilderness Therapy

Open Sky operates one of the dangerous wilderness therapy programs in the United States. They are based in Colorado but do also operate on land in Utah.

In Salt Lake Tribune you read the following text:

Recent sheriff’s records: In October 2007, a girl ran away from Open Sky and ended up on a woman’s porch with no shoes, saying she had been kidnapped and her wrist was hurt when she refused to submit to a strip search, according to a report from the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office. Her father, who lives in San Francisco, retrieved her and said it was the fourth such camp she had run away from. The same month, another girl fell about 20 feet and was taken to a hospital with neck and back pain.

It does not sound like a nice place to be as a teenager.
