The focus of this final project is to present a manual that addresses a combined art therapy and wilderness therapy intervention for adolescent girls on a ten 10 days canoe trip. Currently, there are minimal resources to therapists looking to use art therapy in a wilderness setting. A review of literature was conducted in order to survey and critique the literature in the areas of art therapy and wilderness therapy. Similar aspects were found after contemplating the relevance of the literature to this manual’s literature in terms of value with adolescents and common elements contributing to the effectiveness of each therapy. These two different therapeutic approaches work with varied sensory modalities and different challenges which can offer complimentary aspects through their respective strengths.
