Expectations
for Acceptance into Program
A Project LOST requirement for admittance to the program includes
a complete assessment based on specific minimum criteria outlined
by the partnering institution and WSC Survival School Inc.
NO
CLIENT IS AUTOMATICALLY ADMITTED TO THE PROGRAM ... each client must
meet with a trained assessment officer.
Typically,
each client will be chosen based on a favourable review by:
1) The Institution’s Assessor
2) The Program Team
3) References from the Community.
While
the goal of Project LOST is therapy through wilderness experience,
the best interest of the group as a whole is paramount to overall
success of all programs. Students are expected to show motivation,
and be willing to participate in all dynamics of the program.
As
a result, it’s clear that it is in everyone’s (partnering
institutions and WSC Survival School Inc.) best interest to recruit
misguided / lost youth, not unco-operative youth.
Project
LOST reserves the right to suspend continuation of any participant

staffer
c) any alcohol or illicit drug usage (including tobacco)
d) any violence or threats of violence to anyone (could also involve

warranted by a legitimate health concern, ailment, disability, or
fear)
h) any behavior deemed to be offensive or inappropriate by peers and/or
staff
