Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for Boys enrolls boys from Kentucky on its Northwest Arkansas Campus. It is unique in that 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. A chance at a new direction is available through Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We lovingly train at-risk boys to choose a different path in life, leading them to be godly and upright young men.
If you are interested in therapeutic boarding schools or boys ranches in Kentucky, be aware that Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch might be just what you are looking for. Located in Northwest Arkansas, it is obviously a distance from Kentucky, but that may be a good thing. Consider 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 influence of friends and familiar places—might be exactly what he needs to motivate a transformation. Parents from around the nation, including Kentucky, choose Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for their son.
Strong Reputation for Healing and Hope for Hundreds of Boys
Since we became the initial residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been assisting families for 50 years. We are certain that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the primary avenue for change in the lives of the teenage boys we serve. Every significant component of our program is biblically-based. We feel that centering our program on Christ is the reason countless teenage 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 in order that boys have plenty 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.
-
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 make visits to home on regularly 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 help them continue to grow. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
