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 assisting families for 50 years. We feel that a relationship with Jesus is the best source of healing in the lives of the boys we serve. Every major element of our program is biblically-based. We have seen thousands of times over that our faith-based approach is why countless boys are finding success here, even where other programs have failed.
A few factors show the difference between Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch and other therapeutic ranches:
-
MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low so that boys get plenty 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 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 graduation from Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, boys go back home followed by a strong aftercare program to continue their positive growth. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
