    Residential Program
    A haven for adolescent boys involved with the Juvenile Justice System through a unique, farm-based treatment program
    Establishing a connection like no other.
    Through our farm-based treatment program, each resident is responsible for helping care for a horse.
    Oftentimes, these boys who have difficulty connecting to other people develop a bond with their horse. This commonly serves as the first step to healing, and establishes strong responsibility and sense of ownership in our young men.
    On-campus schooling & activities that give the best chance of success.
    Together with our youth, we set high expectations for our residents because we know they can reach them.
     Our emphasis on education and excellence leads to understanding responsibility in all aspects of life. Through the support of local churches and community groups, our residents participate in activities that help to promote social skills.
