Base Camp

During their time at base camp, students engage in a variety of activities, re-outfit for the upcoming wilderness expedition, work with their therapists, participate in group sessions, take showers and receive health and hygiene checks.
	The Student Lodge Although students sleep in tent platforms at base camp, the Student Lodge can house students overnight in the event of a weather emergency. Rooms have bunk beds and individual bathrooms where students take showers after their return from the field. At night, the rooms are monitored and the Lodge is alarmed to ensure the students remain safe and contained.
	Clinical and Operations Office The clinical department for Phoenix Outdoor is just up the hill from the Lodge. Therapists have easy access to students and can engage them in additional individual sessions, eat meals with them, or offer group therapy sessions. 12-Step meetings and classes are easily facilitated at base camp.
	The Property Base camp is surrounded by beautiful woods, creeks and waterfalls. An energy wheel located near the lodge provides an excellent venue for nightly gatherings and ceremonies. Springs and creeks abound on the wooded property offering opportunities for reflection and quiet time.
	Bio-Dome Greenhouse The base camp offers students the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities that are designed to support the program's therapeutic goals. A sophisticated bio-dome greenhouse and organic gardens allows gardening activities designed to foster group cooperation, promote shared responsibility, and draw metaphors from the growing process to their own personal experience.
