2. Hawk Circle
The second place on our list of boot camps for troubled youth near NYC goes to the Hawk Circle that is a wilderness camp founded by Ricardo Sierra in 1989. Nature is their way to interact with youth as their programs are summer camps where socialization towards co-campers and connection with nature are the main focus. The mentors are trained to be positive and to organize games, crafts, and a whole lot of adventures. One unique program is a forest family retreat and classes which are a way for parents or elders to connect with their young ones. This way, they will be able to discover more about their children, converse with them and at the same time connect with nature.
