Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.

What is Adventure Therapy?
"Adventure Therapy" is an alternative non-pharmacological therapeutic intervention, which is used both as a main and as a parallel therapeutic approach for a plethora of mental and behavioral disorders, by utilizing outdoor adventure activities as its main tool to achieve the desired therapeutic outcomes.
Adventure Therapy with Acheron Outdoors
At Acheron Outdoors we plan, organize and implement group adventure programs in nature, where the participants have the opportunity to take part in various challenging and adventurous activities, such as climbing an 8-meter artificial wall, rock climbing, hiking, river trekking, as well as outdoor team building games (communication, trust and cooperation games).
Our purpose is to increase participants' self-esteem, confidence and self-efficacy, as well as to strengthen their effort to connect the experiences gained through their participation in our activities with their therapeutic goals, by transferring these experiences into their real life.
