Summary
Two weeks ago, on Saturday February 3, 2024, a 12 year old boy was found dead by authorities, naked from the waist down, at Trails Carolina, a "wilderness therapy" camp in North Carolina.
This happened just 5 1/2 weeks after the release of Hell Camp: Teen Nightmare, a Netflix documentary that reached the top ten, detailing the start of the "therapeutic wilderness camp" industry.
"Out-of-control teens across America were sent to a therapy camp in the harsh Utah desert. The conditions were brutal, but the staff were even worse." - Netflix
