Leadership Development Program

"I was lucky at the time to have been sent to LDP. You can tell the staff care about you and want nothing but the best of you. I was only in one Physical Intervention. I learned that life is more than drugs, alcohol and violence I took part in being able to go on some LEAP trips we went canoeing, camping, shark tooth hunting, we even went to Washington DC. I wish our group had more time and more activities. Delta Unit Rocks!"

"Anyone looking for somewhere to stay, free of charge I highly recommend this place right friggin here. The beds are memory foam, literally contort to your body, meals are top tier, must have a chief in their or something. The school is well school, the principal stars In the sitcom the office, funny fella. Wouldn’t be a review if I didn’t mention “weeble wobble webble” the history teacher that still lives with his mom, great guy, his mom would be proud. Ohh and the staff, what a team of people. Searched in some low places to acquire them guys. Which is another thing I love this place for, way to give the unfortunate a job and a chance at life. Wish I wasn’t older then 21 so I could give this place another whirl."

"This was first of a few placements for me. "Failed to Adjust" by breaking restraints, slap boxing other room residents, penguin sliding into the hall.Emotionally unequipped i lashed out. Daily P.E. had me flipping staff galore. Until really being pressured to "process my thinking errors" till 3 am some days.To pick apart my own thinking and learn from it.Other days I learned of leadership skills i never used. Yes i failed but they taught me to think more about the reasons WHY. Alpha unit rocks the house ;)"

"I’ve done a Bootcamp Program Somewhere in South Mountain PA in 2000. I actually went to North Carolina for help with a flood with my Platoon and also went to Oakachobee, FL for a Bootcamp Competition between other programs. It was a ran rough. I’ve seen guys get broken arms and a corporal with a birthmark on his face who did it. Should’ve gotten fired. There was a teepee on the mountain with women sleeping in them. I learned so much to never go back in the system. I’m was sentenced to this place by Delaware courts."

"I am an old resident for not so good circumstances. This place kicked my butt, put me through hell, and and changed my life for the better. I dont know where I would be today if I had not gone here but I am thankful that I was forced to go to this place that. I went in a boy and came out a man. This place taught me life skills, core values, and morals that I still use today. That staff was amazing and you could tell that they did there job because they truly cared and wanted to help. When I was there they had the 3 day leap program where I got to go camping, hiking, rock climbing, and rappelling. The only complaint I had was the that the leap program wasnt longer. That was the time of my life because of how challenging it was. I was afraid of heights and faced my fear rappelling down 150 foot rock face over looking a valley where trees blanketed the ground. Great experience."
