SOAR

Benchmark Transitions

Sober Outdoor Adventure Recreation

The Benchmark Transitions SOAR ^® (Sober Outdoor Adventure Recreation) program recently received a curriculum update from experienced outdoor educator, Cory Skaggs, the grandson of Founder/CEO, Jayne Longnecker-Harper, M.Ed.

Cory is currently a junior at Sierra Nevada University (SNU) in Lake Tahoe, NV, majoring in Interdiscliplinary Studies with an emphasis in Outdoor Adventure Leadership (ODAL) and Ski Area & Resort Management. Cory has led the ODAL Orientation at SNU, has been trained as a Certified Outdoor Educator at National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) and has training as a White Water Rafting Guide. He holds his Wilderness First Responder (WRF) certification, Leave No Trace (LNT) certification and is also a certified Avalanche-I Rescue responder.

Cory developed the Field Guide and Curriculum for the SOAR hiking activities that are implemented weekly on Fridays, from 9 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. The curriculum includes Overview & Purpose, Education Standards, Objectives, Evaluation and Resources. The SOAR curriculum includes classroom and experiential activities with 12 standard rotational courses. Classes include planning and preparation, safety, map reading and other essential outdoor hiking basics. Clients and staff then practice their skills as they enjoy the beautiful hiking areas in Southern California.

The SOAR Curriculum is led by a Master's level credentialed educator with over 10 years of experience in outdoor education, as well as a licensed/credentialed clinician to co-facilitate therapeutic learning experiences within the programming.

Rockin' Out at Benchmark Transitions

The team from Rock to Recovery (R2R) is onsite for weekly music sessions. Every Thursday, they bring music into our substance use and mental health recovery process at Benchmark Transitions!

In Rock to Recovery, clients work together as a team to form a 'band'. The goal each session is to write and record an original song and bond with one another through the healing power of music. No musical experience is necessary! R2R's staff of professional musicians are clean and sober and guide the process helping clients to learn instruments and express themselves in a safe and fun environment. Benchmark clinicians co-facilitate this engaging experiential modality. The effects can be felt as the unique experience of playing music helps to repair neural pathways and promote healthy, happy brain chemistry - great for mental health and substance use issues!
