| Description: | MWA is a Christian character-building wilderness camp for high-potential, underachieving adolescents. Students strengthen their moral character and build self-esteem through rewarding work, wilderness tripping, counselling, and experiential education. For over 30 summers we have introduced young people to the wonders of God's creation in an environment that helps them find and extend their limits through challenging themselves, learning to live in community with others, and confronting the claims of Christ in a setting away from the busyness and distractions of modern life. Our caring Christian staff model and teach faith in action and the character that is necessary to succeed. |

| Family Involvement: | Our Vision for Parents “Train up a child (and his parents) in the way he should go,” is what New Horizons is all about. We do this through placement of the teen in one of our therapeutic boarding school programs while training and counseling the parents. We teach parents to create a home that will better support a difficult teen and prevent new ones from emerging. Our vision is to not only work with the teen but to train parents in: Biblical principles and practical parenting Being intentional instead of reactionary Fostering intimacy and unity within the family Modeling mutual submission and leadership |
| Philosophy: | CHARACTER BUILT TODAY BRINGS HOPE FOR TOMORROW |
| Specialties: | Although the academy is unaligned denominationally, the student's total experience is structured to induce clarification of goals, strengthen faith in Biblical values, and inspire personal commitment of heart and life to Christ |
