Open Sky Wilderness Therapy
Since 2006, Open Sky Wilderness Therapy has been providing the premier family-centered wilderness therapy experience through its programs in the mountains of Southwest Colorado and canyonlands of Southeast Utah. Our Mission: We inspire people to learn and live in a way that honors values and strengthens relationships. The Open Sky approach transcends traditional wilderness therapy by emphasizing treatment for the whole family, not just the pre-teen, adolescent, or young adult. We utilize the latest evidence-based modalities with innovative, proven, holistic healing practices such as yoga, meditation and mindfulness. When a family partners with Open Sky, they embark on a rewarding adventure of self-discovery and acquire a range of tools that promote lasting success.
