Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch

"I love this place i was in the progam when i was younger but then it was known as Kings Ranch Skip arp was the director. It nice to know its still there doing Gods work. It looks quite different now. From when it was a firehouse and school at different times in its life before i was there"

"Having been a juvenile delinquent, I ran away from home at 15. Looking back I wish I found a place with this. I have seen these people love on these kids, pray for them, and I am sure cry out for them. I have donated some, and listened to some of the speakers. When you donate here you are changing the life and future of these young men and their families forever. Give a gift of hope thru restoration."

"These guys saved my life. It’s been a year since I left, and I’m terrified to think of where I’d be right now if not for TCAR. Every staff here is after the Lord’s heart. To highly oversimplify my story, I went from a D-average student, not able to drag myself out of bed in the morning, and a rebellious Prodigal to an A-average student, successful in every area of my life, and my foundation being on Him. Shout out to Eagle Hall, Brother Gene, and Mrs. Cynthia. I love all you guys, and thank you again."

"(THEY HAVE CAMERAS IN YOUR ROOMS) was here when I was 16. I was gender-fluid at the time and didn’t want anybody to know. The kids stole my journal and the staff started treating me differently. I came out with more trauma then going in. There were times I admit, I went too far but the way the call wverything “secular” just triggers me. I can’t even enter the same room as my parents anymore because I can’t stand hearing about god. I have disowned them and wanna thank this place for ruining my relationships with my family. The reviews are all from staff saying they love us but if y’all rule loved me why is it that I have to give a testimony In order to go on outings. The only staff who I think truly cared was Mau and Jennifer and mrs Katie and rob. Everyone else I felt like was to judging and manipulative. I don’t recommend this place at all. Also it has cameras in your rooms so if your changing they can see you.(don’t se how that’s not illlegal considering my past trauma with sexual abuse)"

"If you’re reading this, it’s probably for good reason. You’re hurting, lost, broken and seeking answers for your crumbling family. Please read my brief, heartfelt description of what we went through. My son would not be alive if it wasn’t for this place. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life - leaving my son with strangers. But boy, did it rock my world! They provided the tools that changed his life and MINE! The staff are second to none! Amazing men and women that pour their heart and souls into these boys. I am so privileged to say that part of my life was spent at TCAR. Yes, I now call it a privilege! There are no words to express the appreciation and respect for this treasure of a place. I have had a few parents ask, “but the religion part…?” Yes, they believe in a higher power and pray over those boys.” They have never and will never push Christianity down their throats. However, when your son leaves here, you’ll KNOW without a shadow of a doubt there’s God. As for me, I have witnessed a love so deep that it changed me. I cried out and begged God to save my son - He did - spiritually and physically. Don’t get me wrong, we still have challenges to overcome, but we know how to face them now. If your son needs help, DO NOT hesitate one bit to send him here. You’ll never be the same again."
