A lot of times when we talk about hard skills we focus on bowdrilling, but the art of spoon carving is something folks take seriously out in the field! It is the time to let your creativity flow. 🥄

🌲 Step into the wild … step into healing 🌲

Does your teen (or young adult) feel stuck in a cycle of anxiety, low self-esteem, technology addiction, or persistent academic/family stress? It’s time to try something different — something beyond the typical therapy room.

At Elements Wilderness in Utah, we combine the power of nature, community, wellness, and therapy to create real transformation.

👉 Here’s what this experience offers:

Immersion in the backcountry: away from distractions and immersed in nature’s rhythm.

A small-group setting that fosters connection, cooperation, and safe exploration of personal patterns.

Physical wellness and healthy rhythms: walking, hiking, fresh air, structured living.

Therapeutic support: individual & group therapy integrated with outdoor life and family involvement.

💬 “When a small group of staff and students live together in the wilderness … the group becomes an emotionally safe environment where students can become more honest and accountable.”

WHEN your family is ready for a life-changing reset — one that invites your loved one to rediscover self-trust, resilience, and a grounded sense of purpose — please Plesae call and speak with admissions - 866-542-2252

You can talk about program details, how they tie into ongoing support, and if this approach is the right fit.

📞 Ready when you are. Let’s explore this together.

He has personally visited hundreds of schools, treatment centers, and adventure programs, ensuring each family receives guidance grounded in real-world experience and compassionate care.

Black Pines Life Expands Programming with New Classes, Outdoor Adventures, and Community Engagement

Salt Lake City, UT — Black Pines Life, a transitional living program for young men aged 18–25, continues to expand its approach to real-world learning and personal growth.

Over the past month, students have participated in a range of University of Utah lifelong learning classes, including fencing and “How to Cook the Perfect Steak,” alongside outdoor hikes, skill-building activities, and the excitement of welcoming a new student into the program.

These diverse experiences reflect Black Pines Life’s ongoing commitment to helping young men build independence, confidence, and resilience through structured support and meaningful engagement. The program’s model blends life skills, education, and adventure to create a balanced pathway toward self-sufficiency.

“Character is not defined by what we say we will do, but by what we follow through on,” said Kolby Kimball, Co-Founder of Black Pines Life. “At Black Pines, we teach our young men that maintaining commitments—whether it’s showing up to class, finishing a hike, or sticking to personal goals—is the foundation of growth. True independence comes when accountability becomes second nature.”

The program continues to prioritize individualized growth through small group sizes, enabling staff and mentors to focus on personal accountability, community involvement, and achieving a healthy work-life balance.

From hands-on learning in the kitchen to physical and mental challenges in the outdoors, Black Pines Life reinforces that growth happens when young men step beyond their comfort zones and into real-life experiences.
