About Pine River Institute

Pine River Institute is a residential treatment centre and outdoor leadership experience for youth 13 to 19 struggling with mental health issues, and specifically substance abuse. Their family lives are in uproar. Their personal and academic lives are in jeopardy. These are kids who have exhausted other interventions, and need a new, creative approach.

That new approach is available in a peaceful area outside of Toronto, where family-centered wilderness, therapeutic, and academic programs come together in a unique, holistic treatment and educational model. At Pine River, we address the self-destructive behaviour. We teach math skills and life skills side-by-side. We take all the time it takes to rebuild a life. And we remain supportive of our families long after the program ends.

A place where kids and families can start to feel whole again.

Pine River was awarded the Metro Green Apple Grant!

This initiative from Metro was created to encourage students to participate in the development of a healthier environment.  Here at Pine River we will be putting the funds towards our school garden with a project titled: “Backyard Bounty: Growing Food at School”.  We plan to increase the amount of food produced in our school garden and greenhouse in order to provide the school kitchen with vegetables and herbs grown right here on site.  Now that’s eating local!
