I've got some close friends who work there. Seems like a pretty good program, all in all...

I know the owners of Red Cliffs Ascent. They are really good people. I don't know this other program.

I know they are very reputable and the ownership/management have great pedigrees in behavior therapy type stuff. I think it's one of the more reputable schools of it's kind, and the waiting list is fairly long. I did quite a bit of research into the company and school, and I mostly found good things. There were a few blemishes, but nothing that scared me off.
Anyway, good luck. That's a tough decision.

Thats interesting that there is nothing but good reviews. My 3 friends said the opposite. Granted this was back in 2005 and 2006. And if I recall there was even a death (either sometime) due to malnutrition (this is just hearsay I suppose).
But my friends talked about physical abuse (slapping, punching, and kicking the kids). I can give you the former employees contact info if you'd like.
(My take on them is biased since I'm partial to my friends - but everything i said I can't back up with any facts though).●Canyoneering 'Canyon Conditions' @ www.candition.com
