Healing and Hope for Thousands of Boys Over the Past Five Decades

As the first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been offering hope to families for several decades. We believe that a relationship with Jesus is the best source of healing in the lives of the young men we serve. Every main portion of our program is biblically-based. We believe that centering our program on Christ is the reason countless young men have realized success here, even where other programs failed.

Several factors set Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for boys apart from other therapeutic ranches:

• MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low so that boys have lots of supervision and one-on-one 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.

• 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 go back home with a strong aftercare program to continue their positive growth. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.

The Ranch Features a Private School with Fully Accredited Courses

Academics mean a lot to us at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys, because we feel education forms a foundation for future success. While enrolled in our private school with fully accredited courses, students study on courses led by certified teachers, with individual tutoring available to aid those who need it. We offer a GED option for those with too many missing credits to graduate senior 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 more. 

Teens at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch engage in a variety of recreational activities, both on and off campus. We facilitate an adventure program second to none. In addition to being fun and physically challenging for the boys, it teaches them about reaching goals, communicating and dealing well with others.
