Oregon SageWalk

[islanddream89]

i remember cougar eating dinner with us, i remember alot, morning rooster gave me my name, uh, i liked monsoon the best, she was one badass hippy chick who actually cared.

[islanddream89]

i loved that place, the people were cool, the wildnerness made me feel at home, by the time i got the home ceremony i didnt want to leave. My name was radiant dragon of kamoto given to me by morning rooster. i remember alot of staff. my favorite chick was summer monsoon, me and her would have hooked up if i wasnt seventeen and a shithead.

 The place wasn't that bad.

They did however dress it up for tv...

[Kelsey12534]

i was forced to go to sagewalk during the summer of 2009 it was nothing but abuse from the minute my mom left the driveway, like really why do thoes crazy hippies think they have any right to do the things they did

[DrakisClaftine]

You guys only hated it because of your attitudes. Did you not come back more grateful for your belongings? Did you not come back with a deeper understanding of things? I think you guys did. I just finished a 22 day Outward Bound Rockies trip and I can garuntee It was ten times more dangerous than this pussy shit. But I got through it and now I'm on this computer like whoa technology is awesome.

[thenugslayer420]

@DrakisClaftine yah good for you but this place sucked i went there too and were you forced to go? honestly the majority of staff at this place were assholes you had no freedom and they did not help you whatsoever all the kids i met from mba were extremely unhappy i spent another 16 months at a therapeutic boarding school and i can honestly say to this day that i did not need help my parents have control issues. i honestly find it repulsive places like this are even legal in any country.

[mojoxide]

I WAS THERE AS WELL! I fucking loved it though!!!! It was what you made it!! The guy who ran it (I only knew him as "Sagewalker") was awesome. He was a smaller guy, but an ex army ranger who was an expert in jujitsu who could probably kick as much ass as someone 5 times his size. My name was Spider-Arrow!!

[klee55]

you guys are fucking stupid. all of you. it was what you made it, you were a stupid kid and thats why your parents sent you there. so fuck all of you, you're stupid cunts. don't blame these people because you were a fuck up.

[derxwithit420]

THANK GOD THIS PLACE IS CLOSED DOWN.

*cough* class action lawsuit *cough*

[demonicshroom]

I was there - Yellow Sea Otter...

Crock of shit, but it scared me into doing well in school for a while, and all the drug testing and fear kept me off of drugs.

No one would want to go back there.

Best part of the whole thing though, I ran into one of my leaders 2 years later in Alaska of all places. The look on "Cookie"'s face was priceless.

[nathanalison1983]

I went to this program from Sept-Dec 1999. I was there for 99 days. My earth name was Waxing Moon. I had good experiences and bad ones. I was a troubled youth and was definitely pushed both emotionally and physically. If anyone was there during that time, please look me up. Sad to see that someone died from the school though.

[Brant2493]

im the only person from iowa to be sent there... and im not even that bad lol

[TakjamRosen]

To bad a boy had to die before it was shut down.

[emceelane]

i've spent a lot of time with cougar he's a huge closet case

[ekrivulka]

hahaaa!!! name's mountain song...I was there from december 97-april 1998..with few exceptions i had a kick-ass time!!!

[musicgirl999]

i don't understand why the counselors give themselves nicknames like that

[EyeAmAMachine]

This video brings back horrible memories. Thank god this place was shut down.

[BFMVLOVER11100]

@EyeAmAMachine I'm sorry you had to go through that. There are still many more abusive places like this that need to be shut down as well.

[romeosevendelta]

@EyeAmAMachine

Aspen Ranch, dude. It never stopped.

[NaughtyWampaku]
