Strong Reputation for Healing and Hope for Hundreds of Boys

As the first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been bringing restoration to families for 50 years. We feel that a relationship with Christ is the primary avenue for change in the lives of the boys we serve. Every major element of our program is biblically based. We believe that centering our program on Christ is the reason so many boys have found 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 have a lot of supervision and personal 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 make visits to home on seasonally 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 successfully finishing Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, boys go home with a strong aftercare program to help them continue to grow. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
