Adventure Therapy
Overview
Adventure therapy is a type of experiential therapy that uses challenging adventure activities to aid the therapeutic healing process. Adventure therapy helps promote healthy identity development, self-efficacy, grit, and a growth mindset. It is very helpful with older children, adolescents, and resistant clients.

Adventure Therapy
In a realm where shadows veil forgotten truths, you are called to seek the Hidden Light—fragments of strength, wisdom, and healing scattered across enchanted lands. Only by facing trials, forging artifacts, and discovering your inner spark can the light be restored.
Embark on an online transformative journey with Quest of the Hidden Light, where therapeutic tasks are woven into magical quests. Each quest is designed to empower you and build resilience, creating lasting impact and personal growth.

Geocaching
Geocaching is a type of global treasure hunt of people looking for caches, or hidden stashes of objects. Geocaching may also be described as a series of hide-and-seek games, where hiders provide online clues for seekers. Seekers use global positioning system (GPS) devices to find hidden caches. Use processing questions to make it a therapeutic activity.

Letterboxing

Escape Rooms
Escape Room games are a great way to challenge thinking outside the box to accomplish a task. There are escape room board games, escape room puzzles, as well as online escape rooms. These can be used in therapy by processing the frustrations and successes and applying them to real life situations.
