The serenity of nature allows our clients to escape everyday stress and unhealthy habits or social circles, reestablishing a sense of calm and relaxation. Being in nature has been shown to release endorphins — often referred to as the body’s natural mood lifters — helping to enhance mood and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression.

At blueFire, we take a unique approach to outdoor education, focusing on academic and personal growth through a simple yet effective process.

Assess the Situation: Our Learning Styles Assessment helps us understand your child's needs, paving the way for productive progress. Many families discover insights they never knew existed!

Address Educational Challenges: We use the outdoors as a therapeutic setting to tackle educational hurdles, setting academic goals in line with state standards based on each child's unique assessment. Clients who have not previously had psycho/educational testing must be tested at blueFire.

Nature as a Learning Environment: Our curriculum offers hands-on learning experiences that make lessons memorable. From exploring science to understanding social studies, we connect with nature to drive home important concepts.

Focus on Transitioning Home: While taking a step back from the "real world" isn't a long-term solution, time at blueFire equips clients with essential skills for academic and behavioral growth, making their return to everyday life smoother.

Nature provides a backdrop for healthy activity and serves as a therapeutic environment where individuals can recharge and find solace. The visual beauty of the landscapes, the crispness of the air, and the true quiet contribute to a healing experience that is hard to replicate elsewhere.

He has now reconnected with his family and is making friends. He has found a plan and set goals for himself. This is all possible due to his therapist and the whole BlueFire staff and community they have created."- Dennis, Parent

High expectations for productivity and the comparative culture in academic and work environments can significantly heighten ADHD symptoms. These pressures often lead to increased stress and anxiety for individuals with ADHD.

We believe that to create a more inclusive environment, it is crucial to recognize the unique strengths that ADHD individuals bring to the table, such as creativity and hyperfocus, and provide tailored support and accommodations to help them thrive.
