Reviews of Outback Therapeutic Expeditions
"DO NOT send your kid here. i’d give this 0 stars if I could. The children are miserable here and it is quite literally TRAUMATIZING them. It is not at all what they describe it to be. It is not happy and an outdoor adventure experience. Once your kid comes back they don’t really come back. They are not the same and not in the way that you hoped. And they will literally never ever talk to you again after sending them to such a camp…"
"Parents please read this: (Parents skip this) First off as I am a person who attended and myself and my parents funded this I am covered by the consumer review fairness act. If my review is altered or taken down I will seek litigation against outback. Before I get into what happened I want you the reader to know I wasn't a bad kid, never did drugs or drank. Went to parties was social played on the football team (big in texas) but started falling behind in school because of my parents being divorced just hard on a kid. Admittedly I wasn't the easiest kid to raise but absolutely not a "bad kid". I ended up in the army, worked for the federal govt, had a very high clearance. Recruited by Google and was a part of production/ design of a product so many use today the nest thermostat. I now own a very very successful company in Austin Texas and two small side ventures. I'm happily married to a great woman whose also very successful, with two kids. Very nice home and vehicles. I say that to show who I am, not some bitter person on Google. So here we go: In 2007 I was kidnapped from my bed without warning without telling me where I was going at 4am I was taken from my home. They told my parents not to speak to me and told them to leave. Was told if I tried to run or fought I'd "be put to sleep". Well long story short ended up here (outback). Growing up on a ranch in Texas being outside and getting dirty was great for me however I immediately noticed the guides or babysitters whatever you'd like to call them were a bit odd. They usually work in pairs and rotate few days or so at a time can't exactly remember the rotation. Well they had a counselor you'd meet with once a week, mine had absolutely no business being a counselor. You could tell he was there for a check. Didn't try and met maybe 15-20 mins and was random discussion. Weird but ok, well time goes on and we would write letters home and after my stay I found so many letters never made it home as it shed light on what was going on. From verbal abuse to physical abuse and we were Essentially told not to talk about it we were told we'd be kept there longer. The guides paid no attention either we actually went on a hike one day onto what's known as dugway proving grounds (Google it) where top secret weapons and aircraft are tested. Ironically I ended up stationed there so very familiar. On a hike one day a blacked out Blackhawk snuck up on us with a door gunner ready to unload (249 was aimed) til they realized it was a bunch of kids. Insanely dangerous. Well you might wonder where do these kids use the bathroom? Well you were told to pick up your sh*t. Not even kidding. So me being a country boy and one with an engineering mind one day I made a rock toilet won't lie was the best "personal time" I've had. Out in the wilderness beautiful views ect. Well the hippie guide threw a fit I mean you would have thought I killed this guys dogs in front of his kids. He threatened me and told me to clean the rock. Lol no. I laughed and said "are you actually serious aboit this?" He grabbed me by the neck and said if I didn't he'd make me. Of course I didn't. Anyways he said he'd "take care of me". He rotated out and next crew came in. Was fine for a while no biggie Well one night were around a fire and one of the guides was from I believe the Ukraine or something and she was going on and on about how America sucks and just straight trying to brainwash these kids about how socialism is better so I finally snapped and said why don't you go back then? If it's so great and this place sucks why come? She argued then cried. Well the other guide a Subaru driving hippy got in my face and said "you wanna argue with women mother fu**er I'll show you a man right now you'll wake up in salt lake bit*h". I laughed and told him he should do that so I can go home. Overall: This place is a ponsy scheme. They'll keep your kid as long as they can. They'll threaten your kids. Block letters to you from them while lying to you. It's a pipeline to other programs that keep them longer."
"I went to outback as a teenager I spent a very long 18 weeks in the wilderness at first this was a miserable I didn't want to be out there and I felt as it was completely pointless and was longing for the day I could leave. I belive about 7 weeks into my stay I started finally to be able to see the good in it. The staff we out there with us and the generally cared for us they all knew our names and stories and were always more than happen to listen to us. In my final weeks out there I really didn't want to leave it gave a sense of comfort and control of my own life. Plebe week was one of the best weeks of my life it was a great transition from wilderness back into normal life the adventures we went on were amazing. I wish I could day thank you to all the staff that were out there and especially Ja-Jo."
"Was there in 2021. I broke my wrist and one of the staff assaulted one of the other boys there so so much for the website saying it is safe and no injury has occurred. When I was taken to the hospital the staff refused to tell me what was wrong with me. Also if you are spending this amount of money you would expect to have you child be in a setting with a therapist at all times but nope, it is just once a week. Would not recommend to anyone and most everyone I talked to from the program has corroborated these findings of malpractice and trauma. Would give zero stars if possible"
"The field guides are the best aspect of this program. They are (for the most part) genuinely kind people who want to help struggling children. However, this program is cynical on an institutional level. I won’t say his name, but my therapist was a metaphorical snake-oil salesman. Outback is built off the back of non-consensual transportation (known colloquially as “gooning”), in which children are essentially kidnapped & forced to go to this program. Outback essentially serves as a pipeline to more long-term treatment centers. Therapy is a business to Outback; its therapists (or the one I had) simply serve as a means to indirectly belittling students into going to a treatment center. While the field guides are incredibly kind & helpful, it does not redeem Outback as a whole."
