Camp Trapping Therapeutic Community

Therapeutically, the program uses two major techniques. It comprises a combination of behaviour modification and reality therapy. In the initial weeks, students operate on a point system earning rewards based on the number of points they acquire. To deal with infractions a logical consequence system is utilized. As behavioural problems are assessed, the charts and point system are individualized to emphasize these difficulties and force students to deal with issues identified. They will then progress onto a level system, each level demanding greater responsibility and behavioural contracting, with increased rewards for appropriate behaviour. As students’ progress through the levels, increased peer group counselling occurs with less emphasis on staff limit setting or consequencing.
