In order to facilitate understanding and growth, BlueFire Wilderness Therapy uses the metaphor of a fire building model: Gather, Build and Ignite. This metaphor applies across all aspects of BlueFire programs.
Hiking expeditions will take place in the high plains desert at the base of the Sawtooth Mountains in southwest Idaho, and multi-day outings will explore other areas in the southern Idaho region.
Gather, build and ignite the spark in troubled teens and young adults.BlueFire Wilderness Therapy offers an unprecedented treatment approach that incorporates an ideal blend of wilderness expeditions, high adventure and equine activities, individual and group therapy, academic work, service projects and family connections — all designed to deliver treatment opportunities and life skills attainment. Full-time, year-round Field Instructors will lead groups in multi-day hiking expeditions and outings that combine an academic curriculum, primitive living and outdoor skills, volunteer work, and adventure activities (mountain biking, rock climbing, rafting, horseback riding, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and more!). Compensation includes a competitive wage of $160-$243/day, healthcare/vision/dental benefits, regular work-related trainings and professional development opportunities, BlueFire swag and pro deals. A 2-week on, 2-week off schedule allows for travel, adventure and fun on your time off. A one-year commitment is preferred; seasonal positions are also available. While not required, previous experience in backcountry living/travel, winter camping, outdoor adventure activities, and work with youth is preferred. After completing an application, potential Instructor applicants will be invited to participate in a pre-hire seminar. Learn more at BlueFireWilderness.com.
