Few researches regard social workers as the object to discuss how they use outdoor adventure programs in helping adolescents to develop. Therefore, this study wants to understand the influence of providing outdoor adventure program services for social workers. That’s one of the two purposes of this study; the other is to address design issues of the outdoor adventure programs.
The research focuses on four aspects:“influences during outdoor adventure programs”,“influences of follow-up services after program”,“helps of follow-up services”and“ suggested design models of outdoor adventure program”.Results indicate that,the influences of outdoor adventure programs include:
1.social workers can understand adolescents better;
2.outdoor adventure programs can serve as adjunctive therapy;
3.social workers can intervene immediately during outdoor adventure programs
4.social work service quality change;
5.social workers use outdoor adventure programs in further treatment and in developing family services.
