The greatest thing we can do at our teen boot camps to actually change the lives of our troubled youth boarding schools students is to teach them how to work Hard. If your student has a butt; they wont by the time we are through because we literally work their Butts off Lol .... At Our programs for troubled teens, students start the day at 5:30 am that’s right ... 5:30 am They begin with their daily regimented schedule with Group study and Breakfast then its daily physical workout followed by daily choirs and grooming. School begins at 7:30 AM, with about 8 hours (minimum) per day, typically in four 2-hour segments. Once school is finished, there is an additional 3-4 hours of farm/facilities work. If a student doesn’t perform properly or steps out of line, we take action to discipline them with the use of military style calisthenics: 10-15 push-ups or jumping jacks. Students average twelve hours per day of work, including U.S. Nationally Accredited K-12 Schooling in Idaho and Costa Rica. There is also a study abroad program in Costa Rica which includes a full Spanish language Immersion.
Happiness and success in life comes when we are accountable for our actions and are able to tell the truth. This is also the basis for any kind of relationship. It is incredible to see the effect telling the truth has on our students. There is a physical change in their countenance and their interactions with others as they stop lying. They become trustworthy and develop better relationships with themselves as well as the people around them. If you think about it the first principle here is that we teach our students how to work so they can hold down a good Job and learn they can “work” their way through almost any issue life throws their way . But here in this second principle the students learn how to love themselves and then love others which is the second great commandment. But this will make them successful in every aspect of life because the quality of your relationships dictates the quality of your life
Our students attend church with us every Sunday as well as go to youth group activities on Wednesdays. We do a daily devotional where each time, we encourage them to experience something sacred. When a young student experiences a feeling of sacredness, their change in attitude can be instantaneous. They begin to engender a sense of reverence, respect, and gratitude. This is a powerful antidote for the apathy and entitlement that characterizes their lives. Over the last twenty years, our society has become increasingly secular. Reverence and respect for the beauty and sacredness of life has waned. The technological craze that has begun is consuming the mind as well as providing a chasm between people. Our students learn the value of leaving technology behind to enjoy and capture real life moments. We teach a return to the time-proven practice of duty to God, family and country.
4. Our students learn how to loose themselves as they serve other people as they stay off the Internet for one year that they’re with us. One of the first things that we have the students do while they are with us, is that they have to perform one anonymous act of service for someone else each day, and then report that to one of the staff who verifies it, but tells no one elseIt becomes a secret that builds character and beautifies everything it touches.
A great man once said; “behold I tell you these things that you may learn wisdom that you may learn that when you’re in the service of your fellow beings, your only in the service of God.” And then later, Christ when he was teaching his disciples said “”What Man by thought can add 1 inch to his stature meaning that by thought we can’t make ourselves one inch taller, but by unselfish service we expand our very souls.
This unselfish service attitude is addictive and most of our students. By the time they’re through being with us 365 days in a year have performed over 1000 acts of unselfish service which changes them intrinsically and makes them beautiful in their character and affect.
Teens with behavioral issues sometimes need more help than parents can give.
