Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch is offering an incredible short-term residential treatment program this summer.
Our behavioral therapy and addiction recovery teams develop a therapy plan for each boy and work from day one to establish trust and a caring relationship.
Boys with life-controlling issues typically experience academic failure, so we help them get back on track academically, plus vocational training.
Boys can get excited about their future again as they break addictions and bad behaviors and learn new positive ways of thinking.
Boys are helped here year-round. We offer a unique blend of intense professional therapy, comprehensive academic instruction, and invigorating outdoor adventures. Located in the serene Ozarks of Northwestern Arkansas, our campus is a nurturing environment for boys aged 14–17 1/2 who are navigating life’s challenges. Our focus is on helping at-risk boys overcome a range of issues, including the aftermath of trauma, adoption-related struggles, negative peer influences, experiences of physical abuse, and battles with substance abuse, gaming, or pornography addiction. We’re committed to guiding these young men toward mental wellness, academic achievement, and readiness for a hopeful, positive future. For over 50 years, our faith-based approach to healing and growth has emphasized family restoration, spiritual renewal, and personal recovery. As a licensed, CARF-certified facility, we collaborate with most insurance companies, ensuring that most families can afford to entrust their boy to our care, so they can overcome future-impacting behaviors and substance abuse issues while continuing their educational journey.
Whether your boy needs emotional/behavioral therapy or residential treatment to break free from harmful addictions, consider what Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch offers that other programs may not.
Wilderness therapy has long been a powerful therapeutic tool to help troubled teens turn around in their behavior. Our program combines wilderness therapy with a therapeutic boarding school and sober living environment, plus ongoing mentoring by our expert team. We use adventure and physical activity because boys tend to listen and communicate more as they are active versus sitting in a counseling room. We regularly go camping, backpacking, rappelling, canoeing, swimming, hiking, and spelunking (rock climbing and cave exploration). Through shared adventure in the wilderness, the boys learn the importance of teamwork, goals, and perseverance while developing better communication skills and improving their respect for each other and our staff. On campus, boys also experience therapy-based activity through our certified ropes course and zip line, rock climbing wall, equine therapy, team sports, CrossFit physical training, and various indoor and outdoor sports.
We work with teenage boys who are struggling with the any of the conditions or disorders listed below:
We can’t begin to express how grateful we are for your program and how it has impacted not only our son’s life but ours as well. He began there as an addict who was defiant and angry. He left as a kind, thoughtful young man with a purpose of pursuing God.
Thank the Lord I had a bold Mom and Step-dad who really wanted the best for me and cared about me so much to make this hard decision to send their kid out for a year, hoping I would come back a changed man. Well not only did I come back a changed man, I will never go back to my old ways.
At age 16, I was an intravenous meth user and meth cook. I had given my life to drugs and would have done anything for them. Today, I am drug free, saved, and loving Jesus. I am married and have a child. God has done a miracle in my life.
