Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys enrolls boys from Tennessee on its Northwest Arkansas Campus. It is unique in that it has private bedrooms for each of the boys, an awesome wilderness program, and it includes mission trips and equine therapy. For teen boys dealing with anger, emotional issues, depression, behavioral problems, authority issues, or minor drug abuse, hope exists. The ability to choose a new direction is possible through Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We lovingly train at-risk boys to choose a better path in life, leading them to be godly and upright young men.
If you are searching for a boys ranch in Tennessee, consider that Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch might be precisely what you need, since getting away from your hometown–apart from the negative impact of friends and familiar places—may be exactly what he needs to spark a transformation. Parents from all over the country, including Tennessee,select Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for their boys.
As the first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been bringing restoration to families more than 38 years. We are certain that a relationship with Christ is the best source of change in the lives of the young men we serve. Every main element of our program is biblically-based. We feel that centering our program on Christ explains why countless young men have realized success here, even where other programs have failed.
MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low to ensure boys receive an abundance of supervision and individual attention. Our staff are highly trained and most have bachelor or master’s degrees in their area of work.
ADVENTURE-BASED LEARNING — Our outdoor adventure program is second to none. Our students have regular opportunities to experience fun and challenging outdoor activities. Students enjoy camping, backpacking, rappelling, canoeing, and spelunking (cave exploration). Students are challenged physically and learn the importance of goals and perseverance.
PRIVACY FOR EACH BOY — Rather than housing all the boys in a large dorm filled with bunk beds, our students have their own bedrooms, separate from the noise and influence of the other boys.
FAMILY VISITS — Residents are allowed to visit family on seasonally scheduled breaks.
MISSION TRIPS — Mission trips form a key component of the program, for this reason: as boys mature, they naturally wish to give back and serve others.
EXTENSIVE AFTERCARE PROGRAM — After successfully finishing Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, boys go home followed by a strong aftercare program to prevent relapse . Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
Education means a lot to us at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys, because we believe education is critical for future success. In our accredited private school, boys study on courses led by certified teachers, with individual tutoring available to help those who need it. We offer a GED opportunity for boys with too many missing credits to graduate high school in an appropriate time frame. Credits earned can transfer to private or public schools at home. Boys can also learn basic vocational skills like woodworking, basic electrical, construction and carpentry, shop skills, basic automotive, and others.
Students at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch participate in a variety of recreational activities, both on and off campus. We operate an adventure program. In addition to being fun and physically challenging for the boys, it teaches them about reaching goals, communicating and cooperating well with others.
Many young men have turned their lives around and have gone on to make an impact for Christ after successfully finishing Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We would like to talk with you to see if our boarding school is a good fit for your son. Whether you select Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, a school in Tennessee, or another option, we hope your family can experience the restoration that Christ can bring.
