Fitness of Body and Mind
At Clearview Horizon Girls Academy, physical activity is an essential part of our holistic approach to healing and personal growth. We believe that a strong body supports a strong mind and spirit, helping students regain balance and motivation as they work toward lasting transformation. Daily calisthenics and structured exercise routines help students develop discipline, resilience, and overall well-being, reinforcing the connection between physical health and emotional stability.
Our program includes a mix of strength training, cardiovascular exercises, and team-based activities, designed to build confidence, reduce stress, and promote a healthy lifestyle. Beyond structured workouts, students participate in outdoor recreation, hiking, and team sports, providing opportunities for personal achievement and camaraderie. These activities not only enhance physical fitness but also teach perseverance, teamwork, and self-discipline—essential qualities for success in all aspects of life.
Employing mindfulness in recovery and therapy is also especially important for our students. The skill of mindfulness is taught through many therapeutic methods such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Art therapy and animal-assisted therapy (including equine therapy) are a few other modalities we offer that can incorporate mindfulness. With a mindful approach, our therapists discuss students’ mindful observances with them. This increased mindfulness will allow your daughter to endure any future struggles more gracefully.
For variety, we keep things exciting and active throughout the year with various outdoor physical activities. In the school year, the girls get into the groove with aerobics, self-defense, dance, and even adventurous activities like river rafting and rock climbing. Winter brings a new set of thrills as they hit the slopes of Schweitzer Mountain for snowboarding action and enjoy snowshoeing and sledding at the cozy lodge.
But the fun kicks into high gear when the sun comes out and summer arrives. The girls experience the great outdoors with horseback riding, biking, hiking, river rafting, rock climbing, fishing, camping, and a whole sports lineup. It’s a mix of adventure and pure fun, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Lake Pend Oreille becomes a hub of activity, with the girls taking to the water for boating and enjoying the breathtaking scenery.
We’re not just about the physical activities on the field. We’re also big fans of team spirit! We’re on the sidelines throughout the school year, cheering on all the high school team sports. It’s not just about the game; it’s about creating a lively and supportive environment where girls can thrive in physical activity and teamwork.
But it’s not all about the action; we understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle. That’s why our residential treatment center ensures the girls get a balanced diet as a crucial part of their fitness routine. We’re shaping active bodies and nurturing healthy lifestyles that last a lifetime. At Clearview Horizon Girls Academy, every season brings new opportunities for adventure, fun, and overall well-being for our girls.
