If you are interested in therapeutic boarding schools or boys ranches in Mississippi, consider that Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch could possibly be exactly what you are searching for. Located in Northwest Arkansas, it is obviously a distance from Mississippi, but that may be a good thing. Think about this: For boys in need of intervention, spending time away from your hometown — away from the negative impact of friends and familiar places — away–apart from the effect of friends and familiar places—might be precisely the right thing to start a big change. Parents from all over the country, including Mississippi, choose Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for their son.
60-Year History of Healing and Hope for Hundreds of Boys
Since we became the initial residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has been helping families for more than five decades. We feel that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the best source of transformation in the lives of the boys we serve. Every major element of our program is biblically-based. We believe that centering our program on Christ explains why numerous 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 boys get lots 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.
-
MORE PRIVACY FOR EACH BOY — Rather than housing all the boys in a large dorm filled with bunk beds, our students enjoy their own bedrooms, separate from the noise and influence of the other boys.
-
MORE FAMILY VISITS — Residents are allowed to visit family 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 completion of Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, boys return home with a strong aftercare program to prevent relapse. Aftercare is included in our tuition package.
