At this program, we recognize that dysfunctional teens typically have fallen behind in school and are in need of specific academic support that can get them back on track.

While academic excellence is, of course, the aim, this program is structured to cope with the unique needs of ailing teenagers. More than just academics, counseling is essential to address problematic thought cycles that underlie many of the problems teens are facing. Simply addressing external issues like actions and school will not be enough in terms of creating a genuine, enduring change in these teenagers. In fact, once the emotional and spiritual components of these teenager’s difficulties are addressed, they often straighten out in other parts of their lives, including academics and behavior.

At this program, we push for a re-kindling of their innate interest in fitness and the outdoors. Keeping teens physically active builds health and self-esteem, which are important additions to the counseling students are provided with. Students at this program learn applicable, real-life work skills. This teaches responsibility and honesty, as well as boosting self-esteem. Teenagers learn, in this therapeutic setting, to match work and fun, leading to a practical and admirable work ethic. This carries on into their life after the program, enabling them to become helpful, productive members of society.

Within this safe and supportive program, students are able to gain principles, and discover God. This is the only effective technique for teens to eradicate the selfishness and self-centeredness that leads to the majority of their problematic patterns, from addiction to other behavioral disorders. Within a supportive structure, and surrounded by healthy influences, students gain a new, healthy peer group that can hold them accountable and influence them in their new, moral way of living.
