Benefitting youth and families with positive, challenging experiences that transform lives.

Our Mission

To provide Christian outdoor counseling services that lead to a relationship of trust in God, and an abundant God-honoring life.

Our Vision

Residential therapy, wilderness therapy, help with drug addictionThe Tree of Life Christian Wilderness Expeditions was born in 1996 while crossing the Link river bridge in Klamath Falls, Oregon. I thought that I would like to go and cut another load of firewood and was praying to God about this desire. At this point I believe the Lord impressed me with the vision of delivering the eternal "fuel" of the Tree of Life to individuals and families in a setting that combined the outdoors and counseling in a place where they could obtain life changing benefits.

Tree of Life offers a service that blends residential therapy with a 21 day wilderness experience. Our treks are experienced in the outdoors of several areas in the state of Oregon. Primarily the Oregon Cascades and southern Oregon. We offer young people, preferably 13 thru 18, an opportunity to explore a healthy lifestyle and personal growth in a wilderness setting. Groups are single gender and made up of 3 to 8 participants with 2-3 staff for an excellent ratio of service.

We believe that the best therapy is the relationship between people. People who share similar experiences become tied to one another. People who work toward a common goal build community. People who strengthen each other seek God together, and hold each other accountable as Christian believers, building bonds.
