Frequently Asked Questions

Imagine a world where you knew in your core that you were equipped to endure whatever challenge life throws your way. Chimney Trail Health was designed to give you that peace of mind. Chimney Trail exists to help you build resilience and emotional durability. We do this with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy training activities which have been vetted by qualified psychologists. Your course of training (we call them Waypoint Kits) includes five kits which guide you through a self-led CBT activity. Last but not least, you are joining a community. It takes a village and you have one here at Chimney Trail.

It's like getting five Waypoint Kits for the price of four. Chimney Trail Waypoint Kits are ideally sold as a complete set as that is the best way to overcome all ten cognitive distortions. There are five Waypoint Kits in all, mailed to you at the start of each new season. The cost plus shipping and applicable taxes starts you on your journey. Each kit is valued at over $100. We can't MAKE you or those you care about mentally strong. Truthfully, only you can do that. But, for about what it costs to go to Starbucks once a week, we can teach you how and be with you every step of the way.

We are facing a clear and present crisis when it comes to our collective mental health. The combination of having to hunker down to withstand the worst shocks of COVID, social media giants creating applications to specifically arrest our attention, and important social organizations experiencing bankruptcy and record low levels of participation; we have a DUTY to step in. Chimney Trail is one tiny part of the arsenal of intervention we deserve. If you find a better way to address this pending crisis, call us on the phone and we'll start working on that instead. In the meantime, this humble CBT training curriculum is the most scientifically vetted answer available. We introduce fun, resilience-building activities, all centered on outdoor play regardless of age. The unscripted nature of wilderness spaces coupled with the process of planning, discussing, doing, and revisiting the memory of a shared adventure is like giving yourself armor against anxiety and depression. It's not a panacea...but, it's pretty darn close. These connections to each other and wilderness spaces make us human. Without them, of course we're lost. Let's get back to basics. Start with yourself! Community benefit is a natural, happy outcome. And yes...Chimney Trail as a company also gives back to selected charitable organizations specializing in the support of military and mental healthcare research.
