Our Integrated Approach
Our therapeutic model seamlessly weaves together four essential components:
Agricultural Therapeutic Activities
form the heart of our program, including farm animal care, gardening, farm to table experiences that teach responsibility and connection to the land.
Clinical Therapeutic Integration
offers professional support through therapy, counseling, and creative arts, while weaving in the everyday rhythms of life, relationships, faith, and creation as pathways to healing and resilience.
Growth & Skill Development
focuses on building essential life skills, leadership abilities, responsibility, communication, and problem-solving capabilities through hands-on agricultural experiences.
Seasonal Programming
designed around the natural rhythm of the seasons—spring planting and new growth, summer cultivation and care, fall harvest and celebration, and winter rest and preparation—reminding us that God works in every season of life.
At Camp SEK, we believe that agriculture provides both the metaphor and the method for healing. Every farm activity becomes a therapeutic opportunity, guided by trained professionals who understand how to integrate agricultural work with clinical best practices. Our participants develop trust, confidence, resilience, and purpose while discovering their potential through meaningful work and Christian-centered community life.
