At Our Program Every Student Learns 3 vital life skills

1. Our Teen Boot Camp & Therapeutic Boarding School teaches our students a great work ethic along with badly needed discipline that will change their lives for good

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 .... 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 the Carolinas and Costa Rica. There is also a study abroad program in Costa Rica which includes a full Spanish language Immersion.

2. We hold students accountable & teach them how to consistently tell the truth

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

Teens experiencing sacredness

3. We teach our students Reverence, Respect and Gratitude

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at (208) 837-0811 or for Espaniol at (435) 610-0531  Bootcamps4teens@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Yes; passport is necessary for all travel to and from Costa Rica but you do not need a visa there are multiple services that can help you expedite your passport on Google and they can get you a passport typically within 48 hours it’s usually about another $200 over and above your regular passport fees but they physically walk it through a passport center and get it the same day and therefore can return it to you within 48 hours


We have two facilities that have been operating for 21 years and our staff have been with us for those 21 years; because most states in the US now allow the child to sign themselves in or out of any treatment option without parent consent, we operate only in Idaho and in Costa Rica Where the law States that the child is a minor until 18 years of age and the parent can place the child and the child must respect the parents wishes and go to the program and cannot sign themselves in or out without parent consent.  In Costa Rica we are able to offer our scholarship program where the program cost $38,400 plus escort per year if you attend the school in Idaho the cost is $48,400+ Escort and a one time upfront school credit fees of $1500  the program runs the same in both places with the exception of In Costa Rica where the student receives a full Spanish immersion complete with AP credits for college for the first three months  and they are typically conversationally fluent in Spanish in three months through this process. Typically because space is really a premium in Idaho most of our students start in Costa Rica but will spend some time in Idaho eventually. If the child is 16 and older or turn 16 during their stay typically we can knock out a full high school diploma while they are with us this is for the accredited school diploma in the United States but be aware there is an extra $75 a month fee from the provider of that high school diploma Program; smart horizons that must be paid in order to receive that fully accredited high school diploma.


Why Costa Rica? For starters it is one of the most beautiful places in the world; and having lived in Costa Rica for 20 years personally it is the best place to help you with your student in so many ways; also you need to understand that Costa Rica is not Mexico. The infrastructure In Costa Rica is on the same level as found in the US with the same standards and believe it or not you can Actually drink the water from the tap which I personally did for 20 years and never got sick once and the safety issues that are always apparent in Mexico have nothing to do with Costa Rica. CNN rated Costa Rica as one of the best places in the world to live or to retire see their article here; https://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/07/05/costa.rica.happy.nation/index.html  

Also I am very much a “gringo” but I lived in Costa Rica for 20 years and it was safer for me to live in Costa Rica than it was in South Carolina which is typically thought to be fairly safe. Also Costa Rica is now known as the “new Hawaii” and is a great place to get a vacation home, retire or to invest. Costa Rican‘s or Tico‘s as they are called have some of the highest levels of literacy in the world somewhere around 94% almost everyone in Costa Rica speaks English which is mandatory in K-12 and college in Costa Rica. Costa Rica is sort of the little brother of the United States and does not have an army because the United States is typically made anyone and everyone aware that they are under the US protection. The people are highly educated, kind, attractive,  and typically will do anything for you. Costa Ricans love Americans and recognize that their number one industry is tourism and so they are very cognizant of that fact and try to make sure that Americans are accepted and appreciated. All of these factors considered Costa Rica in my opinion is Paradise and the number one place for your student to grow up, learn the discipline they need and have an incredible study abroad experience.


Before we retired And used to work with a large volume of kids. Where we averaged anywhere from 200 and 600 kids per school. We had extensive boarding school campuses where we would house and feed a great number of students; in 2012 we retired and only work with a total of 16 students in Costa Rica typically and four students in Idaho. 

Obviously we don’t need extensive campuses for those reasons and for this purpose. So our students live in a study abroad, like foreign exchange living arrangements with our staff who’ve been with us for 20 years. 

These staff are all bilingual and also are able to administer the Spanish immersion specifically in Costa Rica, which we do the first three months when they’re there. These students in 3 months automatically become conversationally fluent In Spanish, while we knock out their A.P Credits needed for college entrance. There’s also a problem that this addresses very well, in that you don’t want to put a bunch of bad apples in one barrel because they will feed off each other and your student will end up with bad habits that they didn’t have before they went into the program. 

This is typically the problem that we have when students go into juvenile justice system or Juvie they pick up bad habits that they would’ve not had or literally learn how to be a criminal. So we really like this option; where the student has this foreign exchange student experience, one to a family staff member and lives in a family type setting which allows us to control their interaction with the other students. They interact with other students only in Controlled environments such as activities and only with students that’s already working with the program.

It’s a fact that everyone around effect us and that extends to their behavior think of their behavior right now with their present peer group. you don’t want to send them to environment where they’ll be exposed to more kids with more habits where they live with them daily… We solve this in our Costa Rica in that there’s typically only one student to a family and this is all of that family does is take care of your student.  They make sure your student  get their attention and are not distracted by other students or other issues and we have found a greater level of success through process, this also this is one of the reasons that we are able to do our scholarship program and be so cost-effective if we had to pay for the utilities and the cost of a campus that can hold 200 to 600 kids we would be charging at least $70,000 per year whereas right now we’re charging less than half of that.
