The Anasazi Way is a way of “walking” in the wilderness and in life. Commencing in 1968, Larry D. Olsen and Ezekiel C. Sanchez gleaned and developed the Anasazi Way from years of trial, error, and experience walking in nature with thousands of young people. They attribute their learning and awakenings to the Creator, their families, perceptive YoungWalkers, discerning parents, and their associates at Anasazi.
Anasazi is not a boot camp. There is no force, manipulation or confrontation. Caring staff walk the trail with the same food and gear as the YoungWalkers and patiently wait for opportunities to teach. When the time is right they will teach skills and the principles of unconditional love, agency, repentance, forgiveness, and restitution.
Anasazi Foundation offers programs for adolescents (ages 12-17) and adults 18+. New admissions are accepted continually, year round, and scheduled by appointment. Before an applicant can be accepted for admission, the enrollment packet must be submitted and approved, and financial arrangements must be finalized.
