Weekend Alternative Program
Teenagers who take part in the Weekend Alternative Program experience an extraordinary transformation. Most participants
enter the program filled with feelings of hostility, anger, and denial. During the youths’ participation, these
self-destructive feelings are slowly replaced with self-confidence, self-control, and a sense of accountability.
Designed as an alternative to expensive out-of- home placement, the Weekend Alternative Program operates from Friday
through Sunday at the Diakon Wilderness Center campus in Boiling Springs, Pa., allowing youths to remain at home during
the week while receiving therapeutically beneficial services on the weekends. To learn more, click the helpful links below:
