EACH OF THE PROGRAMS IN THE PROJECT EXTREME PORTFOLIO HAS BEEN DESIGNED BY A MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS TO ENSURE MAXIMUM THERAPEUTIC, FUN, SOCIAL, AND POSITIVE OUTCOMES. ALL PROJECT EXTREME PROGRAMS UNDERGO CONTINUOUS EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT IN AN EFFORT TO CONSTANTLY PROVIDE THE MOST EFFECTIVE, UNIQUE AND RELEVANT PROGRAMMING FOR TODAY'S TEENS. MANY TEENS ARE IN NEED OF IMPROVING THEIR SELF ESTEEM AND/OR ARE HAVING DIFFICULTY FINDING THEIR PLACE. THE CHALLENGES, THRILLS AND STIMULATION PROVIDED BY OUR THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES PROVIDE A SAFE, POSITIVE AND EXHILARATING ALTERNATIVE TO THE NEGATIVE OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN TODAY'S TEEN SOCIETY. OUR PROGRAMS TRANSFORM LIVES BY HELPING TEENS MOVE AWAY FROM DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR, BUILD SELF-CONFIDENCE AND MAKE BETTER CHOICES. MOST OFTEN, THE NEW OUTLOOK AND SKILL SETS ENABLE TEENS TO RECONNECT WITH THEIR FAMILY AND TO THE COMMUNITY. PROJECT EXTREME PROGRAMS ARE DESIGNED TO: INTERRUPT THE PARTICIPANT'S NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR `PATTERNS, EDUCATE AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR `HEALTHY DECISION MAKING/CHOICES', ENHANCE FEELINGS OF SELF WORTH, FOSTER INTROSPECTION, IMPROVE SOCIAL AND FAMILIAL RELATIONSHIPS, AND IDENTIFY KEY ISSUES DYNAMIC PROCESSING SESSIONS AND LEARNING GROUPS REINFORCE THE LESSONS THE STUDENTS ARE LEARNING EXPERIENTIALLY. PROJECT EXTREME'S SUCCESS RESULTS IN TEENS HAVING MORE HONEST COMMUNICATION WITH PARENTS, BETTER SOCIAL SKILLS, AND THE ABILITY TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR POSITIVE ACTIONS WITHIN THEIR PEER CULTURE. PROJECT EXTREME HAS FOUR CORE PRINCIPALS. STRENGTHS- BASED PERSPECTIVE, SKILLS BUILDING, INDIVIDUALIZED CARE, AND LONG-TERM FOLLOW UP. A STRENGTHS-BASED PERSPECTIVE IS ESSENTIAL IN WORKING AND CONNECTING WITH TEENS. RESEARCH HAS SUPPORTED THE IDEA THAT RECOGNIZING A TEEN'S STRENGTH CONTRIBUTES TO BUILDING THEIR SELF-ESTEEM, RESULTING IN A DEFINED SELF WORTH. THROUGH POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT, SUCH AS CONGRATULATING A TEEN AFTER COMPLETING A DIFFICULT OUTDOOR TASK OR RECOGNIZING ACTS OF KINDNESS, THE BUILDING BLOCKS ARE LAID TO CREATING A TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TEEN. SKILLS BUILDING, CONTRIBUTES GREATLY TO A TEEN'S ABILITY TO LEARN HOW TO COPE, COMMUNICATE AND FUNCTION IN THEIR EVERYDAY LIFE WITH PEERS AND FAMILY. WITHIN A FRAMEWORK OF FUN ACTIVITIES, PROJECT EXTREME INTEGRATES LIFE-LEARNABLE LESSONS, AND TEACHES APPROPRIATE VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION STYLES RESULTING IN IMPROVEMENTS IN SOCIAL CUES AND INTERACTIONS. TEENS BEGIN TO INTEGRATE WHAT THEY ARE BEING TAUGHT IN THIS SAFE ENVIRONMENT, THAT GENERALIZE TO THEIR EVERYDAY LIVES. A ONE TO ONE PARTICIPANT/STAFF RATIO, IS ESSENTIAL TO THE SUCCESS OF OUR PROGRAMS. ON A DAILY BASIS, TEENS MAY EXPERIENCE ANXIETIES, PRESSURES AND FEELINGS OF LONELINESS. HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO A MENTOR, WITH WHOM THE TEEN HAS FORMED A CLOSE AND TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP, CAN BE THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT TOOL IN PREVENTING THE TEEN FROM MAKING INAPPROPRIATE AND AT TIMES RISKY DECISIONS. REAL, MEANINGFUL AND LONG TERM FOLLOW UP AND IS REFLECTED BY THE REQUIREMENT THAT STAFF SIGN A SOCIAL CONTRACT TO MAINTAIN CONTACT WITH TEENS THROUGHOUT ADOLESCENCE AND INTO ADULTHOOD. THIS LONG-TERM COMMITMENT SENDS A LOUD AND CLEAR MESSAGE TO THE TEEN AND THEIR FAMILY THAT PROJECT EXTREME IS NOT A SHORT TERM SOLUTION, BUT RATHER A LONGER TERM LIFETIME SUPPORT. PROJECT EXTREME PROGRAMS INCLUDE CAMP EXTREME FOR BOYS, CAMP EXTREME FOR GIRLS, WEEKEND RETREATS, HOLIDAY PROGRAMS, INFORMATION & REFERRALS, COMMUNITY AWARENESS, AND MORE.
