When Good Intentions Go Bad: Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument Jan 15, 2024

Show notes

Wilderness Therapy – some praise it, others shame it. In the 1980’s Steve Cartisano created the Challenger Foundation, the wilderness therapy camp that promised to reform wayward teens. It seemed like a perfect solution for concerned parents until kids experienced abuse and others died while in camp care. Today we venture to Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument to understand how Hell Camp earned its name.
