You are reading this web page because you have a troubled boy and your family is in crisis. The out-of-control behaviors of a troubled boy are a frightening proposition for parents.

If you are worried sick that your son's numbness and lack of good judgment may lead him to follow the negative pressure of negative peers, getting involved with dangerous behaviors (i.e., drug abuse and gang activity) please consider calling a Family Advocate with the Family Hope Line 888-494-9077.
"...The challenge at hand is to turn your son back to making responsible choices and restoring a healthy, trusting relationship with his family. One that is filled with honesty and communication, and Jesus Christ..."
West Florida Teen Challenge Boys Ranch is up to the challenge of restoring your troubled boy. They are fully prepared to accept the challenge to mentor and coach you, the parent; to set healthy, functional boundaries in your home. West Florida Teen Challenge Boys Ranch is a military-style program where they begin by replacing the latest fashions with a neat, military dress uniform. Second, they replace the awful music that is filled with messages of futility and death with contemporary Christian music; uplifting style of worship. Soon, your former troubled boy replaces his unhealthy relationships (negative peers) for a new friendship with positive peers who are followers of Christ.
"...West Florida Boys Ranch is located on a sprawling 160-acre farm, where a young man is able to value the miracle of growth and harvest through the sowing of seed. He can directly apply to his own life the biblical law that states, "Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap..."
At West Florida Teen Challenge they place the priority on developing a healthy relationship with Christ; a real relationship that is relevant to the times and culture of a teen living in a troubled world. West Florida Boys Ranch presents a twice-weekly chapel service, hallmarked by contemporary worship and extended periods of time for prayer. Evenings are filled with character growth group session as well as group Bible studies. Christian boarding schools for troubled boys.
Throughout the years over 450 boys from all over the nation have benefited from attending West Florida Teen Challenge Boys Ranch. The program is a 15-month-long academic-based program, which emphasizes Christ-centered character development. During their first 7-8 months in the Drill Academy, boys practice the disciplines of a military style regiment. Drill instructors lead them in daily physical training and military drill exercises. Household and farm chores are part of each "cadet's" daily routine.
As students succeed in the program, they are given the opportunity to become part of the traveling rally and drama team. They visit churches, schools, and travel abroad twice annually. Former students have visited Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Guatemala.
