About Us
50 Years of Successful Outcomes and Counting
Since 1973, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has helped teens overcome substance use, mental health struggles, and harmful behavior patterns. With over 50 years of experience and more than 2,000 families served, we are a trusted resource for families facing some of the toughest challenges of adolescence.
We combine proven, evidence-based clinical care with a Christ-centered environment to offer a truly holistic path to healing and growth.
Our 31-acre campus in the Arkansas Ozarks provides a peaceful, natural setting ideal for therapeutic work. Outdoor adventure and equine-assisted therapy are key parts of our program—helping engage teenage boys in meaningful, hands-on healing experiences.
