A Therapeutic Boarding School for Boys, Offering Adventure-Based Learning and Wilderness Therapy, Now Enrolling Boys Year-Round from Utah
Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys admits boys from Utah 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 also features mission trips and equine therapy.
For teen boys with anger, emotional issues, depression, behavioral problems, legal issues, or substance abuse, hope exists. The ability to choose a new direction is possible through Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We lovingly train struggling boys to choose a different path in life, leading them to be godly and upright young men.
If you are looking for therapeutic boarding schools or boys ranches in Utah, be aware that Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch might be precisely what you need. Located in Northwest Arkansas, it is obviously a distance from Utah, but that may be a good thing. Consider this: For teenage boys in need of intervention, spending time away from your hometown — away from the negative impact of friends and familiar places — away–separate from the pressure of friends and familiar places—might be precisely the right thing to cause a big change. Parents from across the country, including Utah, choose Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for their son.
Strong Reputation for Healing and Hope for Hundreds of Boys
As the very first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been offering hope to families for 50 years. We are certain that a relationship with Christ is the primary avenue for a lasting difference in the lives of the teenagers we serve. Every major component of our program is biblically-based. We feel that centering our program on Christ is the reason so many teenagers are finding success here, even where other programs have failed.
A few factors distinguish Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch from other therapeutic boarding schools:
-
MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low to ensure boys get lots 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.
-
MORE PRIVACY FOR EACH BOY — Rather than housing all the boys in a large dorm filled with bunk beds, our students can spend nights in their own bedrooms, separate from the noise and influence of the other boys.
-
MORE FAMILY VISITS — Residents are allowed to visit family on regularly scheduled breaks.
-
MORE ADDICTION TREATMENT — Our program is a licensed dual-diagnosis Addiction Treatment Center with staff expertly trained to treat substance abuse, as well as harmful lifestyle addictions to gambling, pornography, or online gaming.
-
EXTENSIVE AFTERCARE PROGRAM — After completion of Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, boys return home followed by a strong aftercare program to prevent relapse. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
Christian Boarding School Offering a First-Class Education
Education means a lot to us at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys, because we believe education is critical for future success. In our private Christian school with fully accredited classes, students work on courses led by certified teachers, with individual tutoring available to assist those who are struggling. We offer a GED track for those with too many missing credits to graduate high school on time. Credits earned can transfer to public or private schools at home. Boys may also study basic vocational skills like woodworking, basic electrical, construction and carpentry, shop skills, basic automotive, and others. After leaving Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, many boys opt to continue their classwork at home through dual enrollment with Alpha Omega Academy distance education.
Students at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch take part in many recreational activities, both on and off campus. We operate an adventure program second to none. Besides being fun and physically challenging for the boys, it teaches them about reaching goals, communicating and dealing well with others.
Many teens have turned their lives around and have gone on to make a difference for Christ after graduating from Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We would be happy to talk with you to see if our boarding school is a good option for your son. Whether you decide on Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, a school in Utah, or another program, we hope your family can find the healing that Christ can bring.
