boys ranchesSince we became the initial residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been offering hope to families for more than five decades. We are certain that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the surest way to change in the lives of the teenagers we serve. Every major portion of our program is biblically-based. We believe that centering our program on Christ is the reason so many teenagers have found success here, even where other programs have failed.

A number of factors show the difference between Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch and other therapeutic ranches:

  • MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low in order that boys receive an abundance 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 successfully finishing Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, boys return home accompanied by a strong aftercare program to continue the forward momentum. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
