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

Since we became the first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been helping families for several decades. We believe that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the primary avenue for change in the lives of the boys we serve. Every main element of our program is biblically-based. We feel that centering our program on Christ is the reason countless boys have discovered success here, even where other programs didn’t work.

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

• MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low to ensure that boys receive a lot 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 normal 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 return home accompanied by a strong aftercare program to continue the forward momentum. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
