Boys Ranch with Adventure-Based Learning and Wilderness Therapy, Now Enrolling Boys Year-Round from Washington

Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch helps boys from Washington on its Northwest Arkansas Campus. It is unique in that it has private bedrooms for each of the boys, an awesome wilderness program, and it also features mission trips and equine therapy.

For teen boys experiencing anger, emotional issues, depression, behavioral problems, authority issues, or minor drug or alcohol abuse, hope exists. A chance at a new path is available through Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We lovingly train at-risk boys to choose a new path in life, leading them to be godly and upright young men.

If you are searching for a boys ranch in Washington, consider that Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch could possibly be exactly what you need, since getting away from your hometown — away from the negative impact of friends and familiar places — away–apart from the pressure of friends and familiar places—may be precisely the right thing to spark a change. Parents from all over the country, including Washington, select Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for their boys.

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

Since we became the initial residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been helping families for several decades. We believe that a relationship with Jesus is the best source of change in the lives of the young men we serve. Every major component of our program is biblically-based. We believe that centering our program on Christ is the reason numerous young men have discovered success here, even where other programs didn’t work.

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

• MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low to ensure boys receive plenty of supervision and personal 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 can spend nights in their own bedrooms, separate from the noise and influence of the other boys.

• FAMILY VISITS — Residents are allowed to visit family on regularly 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 graduation from Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, boys go home accompanied by a strong aftercare program to help them continue to grow. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.

The Ranch Features a Private School with Fully Accredited Courses

Education means much to us at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys, because we feel education is critical for future success. In our private school with fully accredited courses, boys study courses led by certified teachers, with individual tutoring available to help those who are struggling. We offer a GED option for anyone with not enough credits to finish high school in an appropriate time frame. Credits earned can transfer to private or public schools at home. Boys may also study basic vocational skills such as woodworking, basic electrical, construction and carpentry, shop skills, basic automotive, and more. 

Students at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch engage in a multitude of recreational activities, both on and off campus. We operate 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.

Many boys have turned their lives around and have gone on to make a difference for Christ after graduating from Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We would love to talk with you to determine if our boarding school is a good fit for your son.
