Wilderness Therapy and Mentoring Program
The flagship activity of Mountain Track Youth Limited is its Wilderness Therapy and Mentoring Program, which immerses young people in the natural environment of the remote Jumbuk Forest. This program is designed to quickly build trusting relationships and a sense of belonging, using adventure-based activities to promote personal growth, teamwork, and resilience. Participants are supported by dedicated mentors who walk alongside them, offering guidance, encouragement, and practical skills development. The wilderness setting provides a unique opportunity for young people to step away from daily challenges, focus on their strengths, and gain confidence in their abilities.
