We visited the Ranch first, in March 2019. It is a beautiful place with a peaceful feeling as you enter the property driving by the horses, longhorns next door and the pond. When I saw the young men in the bunkhouse I realized that they were similar to my son. There was also a peaceful feeling inside.

We brought our son the following week. It was a hard decision but I knew he was where he needed to be. The staff are thoughtful, kind and understand exactly how to deal with teenage boys.

They were especially helpful with discipline, respectful communication and a focus on internal values. My son finally began truly engaging in counseling and focusing on his future and our family.

The favorite part of our weekend visits was watching the daily team sports activities outside. They often play soccer, basketball, touch football and volleyball. There are a lot of smiles as they enjoy the playful competition.

Big thank you to everyone at the Ranch for the very important hard work you do. You change the lives of the young men and their families.
