Sky’s the Limit Fund

Our mission at Sky’s the Limit Fund (STLF) is to transform the lives of youth in crisis and their families by providing access to wilderness therapy programs, coaching services to guide families during the transition home, and outreach to educate the community on the benefits of wilderness therapy.

Wilderness therapy is very expensive, rarely covered by health insurance companies, and is cost-prohibitive to many families. Believing that cost should not be a barrier to anyone seeking wilderness therapy treatment for their child, Sky’s the Limit Fund (STLF) provides financial assistance to offset the high cost and enable youth and young adults in crisis to attend one of our Program Partners. Our Partners also provide a reduction in tuition, further reducing the financial burden for the family.

To further support our families and young adults, and reduce the financial burden post wilderness therapy treatment, STLF provides families and young adults participating in the STLF coaching service the opportunity to be reimbursed for a portion of the cost of treatment for the youth or young adult in his/her home community following wilderness therapy. Examples of treatment include, but are not limited to, therapist, counselor, mentor, IOP, and wrap services.

FAMILY SUPPORT

Sky’s the Limit Fund (STLF) believes there should be no stigmas when it comes to mental health.  People are healthier when they understand their options and can make a choice that best meets their needs.  We hope to increase the awareness of wilderness therapy as an option for youth in crisis and, as a result, transform lives.

STLF provides guidance, parent mentors, and resources to give families the emotional and practical support and strength to successfully navigate the treatment process. In addition, we host events and outreach activities to increase awareness and educate the community on the benefits and efficacy of wilderness therapy treatment.
