A Therapeutic Boarding School for Boys, Offering Adventure-Based Learning and Wilderness Therapy, Now Enrolling Boys Year-Round from Alaska
Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch helps boys from Alaska on its Northwest Arkansas Campus. It has private bedrooms for each of the boys, an exciting wilderness program, and it includes mission trips and equine therapy.
For teen boys coping with anger, emotional issues, depression, behavioral problems, legal issues, or substance abuse, hope exists. The ability to choose a new life 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 therapeutic boarding schools or boys ranches in Alaska, take into account that Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch could be exactly what you are looking for. Located in Northwest Arkansas, it is obviously a distance from Alaska, but that may be a good thing. Think about this: For boys in need of intervention, getting away from your hometown — away from the negative impact of friends and familiar places — away–away from the effect of friends and familiar places—may be just the thing to start a change. Parents from all over the country, including Alaska, decide on Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for their son.
Strong Reputation for Healing and Hope for Hundreds of Boys
As the first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been offering hope to families for several decades. We feel that a relationship with Christ is the best source of transformation in the lives of the boys we serve. Every main 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 didn’t work.
A few factors show the difference between Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch and other therapeutic boarding schools:
-
MORE STAFF — First, we keep student-to-staff ratios low to ensure that boys have 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.
-
MORE 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.
-
MORE FAMILY VISITS — Residents are allowed to visit family on normal scheduled breaks.
-
MORE 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 followed by a strong aftercare program to prevent relapse. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
Christian Boarding School Offering a First-Class Education
Education means a lot to us at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys, because we find that education is critical for future success. While enrolled in our private Christian school with fully accredited classes, boys complete courses led by certified teachers, with individual tutoring available to aid those who need it. We offer a GED track for anyone with not enough credits to finish high school in a timely manner. 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. After leaving Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, many boys prefer to continue their classwork from home through dual enrollment with Alpha Omega Academy distance learning.
Teens at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch take part in many 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 cooperating well with others.
Many young men have turned their lives around and have gone on to make an impact for Christ after successfully finishing Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch.
