Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys admits boys from California on its Northwest Arkansas Campus. It has private bedrooms for each of the boys, an awesome wilderness program, and it includes mission trips and equine therapy.
This year-round program is designed for teenage boys dealing with anger, emotional issues, depression, behavioral problems, authority issues, pornography, gambling or gaming addictions, or drug or alcohol abuse. An opportunity for a new path is possible through Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We lovingly train struggling boys to choose a better path in life, leading them to be godly and upright young men.
If you would like to find boys ranch in California, consider that Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch could be just what you need, since spending time away from your hometown — away from the negative impact of friends and familiar places — away–apart from the influence of friends and familiar places—may be exactly what he needs to cause a big change. Parents from across the country, including California, decide on Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for their boys.
As the very first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been bringing restoration to families for nearly 60 years. We are certain that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the surest way to change in the lives of the teenagers we serve. Every significant element of our program is biblically-based. We feel that centering our program on Christ explains why numerous teenagers have discovered success here, even where other programs failed.
MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low in order that boys receive an abundance 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.
PRIVACY FOR EACH BOY — Rather than housing all the boys in a large dorm filled with bunk beds, our students enjoy their own bedrooms, separate from the noise and influence of the other boys.
FAMILY VISITS — Residents are allowed to make visits to home on normal scheduled breaks.
ADDICTION TREATMENT — Our program is a licensed dual-diagnosis Addiction Treatment Center with staff expertly trained to treat addictions to alcohol or drugs, as well as harmful lifestyle addictions to gambling, pornography, or online gaming.
EXTENSIVE AFTERCARE PROGRAM — After successfully finishing Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, boys go back home accompanied by a strong aftercare program to prevent relapse . Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
Academics mean a lot to us at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys, because we believe education strongly supports future success. In our private school with fully accredited courses, students complete courses led by certified teachers, with individual tutoring available to assist those who need it. We offer a GED option for those with not enough credits to complete 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 others.
Students at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch take part in numerous recreational activities, both on and off campus. We facilitate an adventure program second to none. As well as being fun and physically challenging for the boys, it teaches them about reaching goals, communicating and dealing well with others.
