303. Phoenix Outdoor

Phoenix Outdoor was a wilderness program located in North Carolina. A number of teenagers ran despite the dangers of running around in the wilderness where they could be prey for animals or freeze to death during the winter as it just happened last month to a 17 year old boy in another program.

It didn’t sound like a fun place to be as a teenager.

The program was merged together with another program operated by the same owner.
