Shunda Creek Recovery Centre

The Shunda Creek Recovery Centre is a 12 week, 14 bed adventure-based addiction recovery program for men aged 18–26, located in a remote natural setting. At Shunda Creek, recovery is experienced through mindfulness-based adventure therapy. Participants engage in practices such as yoga, sweat lodge ceremonies, silent hikes, and multi-day physical challenges. Outdoor activities including hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, and backcountry trips are paired with structured group work to help individuals move beyond their comfort zones, build resilience, and strengthen their commitment to recovery.

After completing the program, participants can access a no-cost alumni program offering ongoing peer connection through online meetups, in person gatherings, wilderness outings, and weekend events at Shunda Creek. Research consistently shows that ongoing peer support reduces the likelihood of relapse and helps individuals return to stability more quickly if setbacks occur.
