A Therapeutic Boarding School for Boys Offering Adventure-Based Learning and Wilderness Therapy is Now Enrolling Boys Year-Round
Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch helps boys on its Northwest Arkansas Campus. It is unique in that it offers addiction treatment, private bedrooms for each boy, an exciting wilderness adventure program, mission trips, and equine therapy.
For teen boys coping with anger, emotional issues, depression, behavioral problems, authority issues, or drug use or addictions, hope exists. A chance at a new path is possible through Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We lovingly train wayward 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, be aware that Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch could possibly be precisely what you are searching for. Located in Northwest Arkansas, it is a distance, but that may be a good thing. Think about this: For boys needing intervention, time spent 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 what your boys need right now. Parents nationwide choose Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch for their sons.
60-Year History of Healing and Hope for Hundreds of Boys
Since we became the first residential Teen Challenge program for boys, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch has restored families for several decades. We feel that a relationship with Jesus Christ is the primary avenue for healing in the lives of the young men we serve. Every main component of our program is biblically based. We believe that centering our program on Christ is why so many young men are finding success here, even where other programs failed.
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 have lots of supervision and personal attention. Our staff is highly trained, and most have bachelor’s or master’s degrees in their field 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 can spend nights in their own bedrooms, separate from the noise and influence of the other boys.
-
MORE FAMILY VISITS — Residents can 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 successfully finishing Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, boys go back home accompanied by a strong aftercare program to help them continue to grow. 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 because education strongly supports future success. In our private Christian school with fully accredited classes, students study on courses led by certified teachers, with individual tutoring available to assist struggling students. We offer a GED option for boys with too few credits to graduate high school in an appropriate time frame. Credits earned can transfer to public or private schools at home. Boys can also learn basic vocational skills like woodworking, electrical, construction, carpentry, shop, and basic automotive. After graduating from Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, many boys opt to continue their classwork from home through dual enrollment with Alpha Omega Academy distance education.
Residents at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch participate in numerous 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 working well with others.
Many teens have put their lives back on track and have gone on to make an impact for Christ after graduating from Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch. We would love to talk with you to help you decide if our boarding school fits your son. Whether you select Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch in Arkansas or another alternative, we hope your family can experience the transformation that Christ can bring.
