Discovery Ranch is a top residential treatment center for boys ages 13-18. We're a relationship-based experiential campus, we don't just sit inside an office--we provide the opportunity for your son to build on experiences and establish age-appropriate, healthy coping skills. Our program is designed to help your son grow with the support of caring and experienced professionals. Your son will be able to have excellent experiences with our experiential therapies. • The equine therapy program will help your son learn about himself through self-reflection with the horses. • Our unique calf adoption program allows your son to build a relationship, which will allow him to understand connections and handle the changes of life as the calf grows and becomes independent. • Recreation therapy gives your son the chance to participate in several outdoor activities, leading to healthy identity development, improved grit, and increased resilience. • The music and technology program allows your son to express himself through music and to learn about the healthy use of technology. Our program includes a blended learning instructional model. This approach meets each student where they are and removes the academic pressure of being compared to other students. The smaller classes allow each student's particular needs to be met by caring, qualified teachers in each classroom. The application of these therapies and much more help your son find healing and growth while building a strong character.
