60-Year History of Healing and Hope for Hundreds of Boys

Since we became the very first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been assisting families for 50 years. We believe that a relationship with Jesus is the best source of change in the lives of the teenagers we serve. Every major portion of our program is biblically based. We feel that centering our program on Christ is the reason numerous teenagers are finding success here, even where other programs have failed.

A few factors show the difference between Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch and other therapeutic boarding schools: 

• MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low to ensure boys receive 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 have 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 normal 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 followed by a strong aftercare program to continue the forward momentum. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
