Description:
Elkins Mountain School (EMS) is a juvenile treatment facility for males ages 12-17. EMS students are given the opportunity to learn skills in a setting which enhances the classroom experience such as animal care, small business operation, public relations, and communication skills. Working with animals is often a safe way to learn to express feelings because animals do not discriminate nor do they reject.
