Moonridge Sends Parents Over the Cliff!
For release Oct. 28, 1011
Moonridge Academy girls have been gaining a lot of rappelling experience over the past few months, going on frequent Recreational Therapy Activities with their therapists and Recreation Director, Jared Robinson - a climbing expert and instructor. In planning their October Parent Seminar, the girls suggested taking their parents on this experience as well. After much advance notice, ample safety instruction and demonstration, and many release forms almost every single Moonridge parent found themselves roped in and scaling backwards down a cliff next to their daughter!
The girls were ecstatic to be able to help teach and coach their parents, and parents were nothing less than amazed at the level of courage and confidence gained in such an adventure. While there may have been a lot of sweaty brows and shaking knees at the top of the cliff, there was nothing but hugs and laughter when they reached the bottom!
Moonridge Academy, a residential treatment center in beautiful southern Utah, provides a specialized, unique learning and healing environment for younger girls ages 11-15 that are beginning to experiment with high- risk behaviors. The girls receive ample therapy and individual attention with a creative and nurturing approach. Moonridge Academy is a proud member of the CERTS programs.
