A typical day on the Farm will entail several hours of work on the farm that may include learning to operate a track hoe, a utility vehicle, tractor, or a skid steer. Campers will learn about planting and growing a garden, caring for a variety of farm animals, learning plumbing, electrical, and carpentry skills; there will be recreational activities like fishing in Cove Creek, panning for gold, or learning safe firearms handling, and more.
Each week there will be several individual and small group counseling opportunities with Chris, the founder and Marine Vietnam Veteran. Chris brings several decades of experience working with young men in need of guidance. Your son will have a unique plan developed for him in order to address issues with which he may be struggling. We are happy to work in conjunction with any therapist that may be involved with him to make his healing a seamless process.
Please call Chris and discuss your needs and expectations. Let’s see if we are a good fit for your son. We like to keep our program fluid and exciting; even when digging ditches or hauling a load of rocks. Our desire is to help young men understand the value of work, the necessity of self care and self soothing, to enjoy the camaraderie of guys with a common goal, and the satisfaction of doing a job well. Our methods are sometimes unique, thus keeping our Campers alert and attentive.
