A High Adventure Residential Treatment Center Experience
That Encourages Young Men to Serve Others Before Serving Self

Ashcreek Ranch Academy is a Residential Treatment Center where boys become young men. Our unique outdoor adventure, experiential therapy, and ranch environment teaches the value of hard work, respect, and accountability, while our residential setting feels like home—warm, friendly, and inviting. Every part of our program and environment is designed specifically for young men. From our approach in therapy, to the classroom, to the daily schedule – everything we do was developed to meet the emotional and behavioral needs of struggling teen boys.

A Home-like Ranch
Environment for Boys

We’ve created a clean, modern, home-like ranch designed specifically to make boys feel welcome and at home.

Here young men learn the value of doing difficult things and find confidence as they learn to trust others and trust themselves through experiential therapy.

Accredited Academics
& Personal Attention

Whether underperforming or struggling to achieve academically, our young men receive personal attention from experienced, credentialed teachers in real classroom setting. Students learn valuable learning skills often neglected at traditional public schools.

Experiential Therapy,
& Outdoor Adventure

We’re located in the heart of Southern Utah’s color country – the gateway to Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell and minutes from 3 State Parks. We use our unique environment to engage the body and the mind with experiential therapy & purposeful outdoor adventure.

The Difference Between Ashcreek Ranch Academy
& Other Programs for Struggling Teens

Many residential treatment centers for teens are designed for both adolescent boys and girls. We find this design problematic. Honestly, there is a vast difference between the emotional and physical needs of young men when compared to those of young women.

Our unique focus on young men and the exceptional setting of our outdoor environment and experiential therapy offer better outcomes. Students return healthier, happier, and ready to thrive and succeed.

At Ashcreek Ranch Academy we know how to make a difference in the lives of struggling young men. Our approach starts with the understanding that reversal of destructive lifestyle choices is possible with the right tools and knowledge.

We believe that each student can learn to make new choices and find a happy, healthy and meaningful life.

Experiential Therapy

Outdoor Adventure Guided by Trained Therapists

Some of life’s most important lessons can’t be learned solely through talk-therapy, or in an office setting. That’s why we engage the boys in experiential therapy, which is simply purposeful outdoor activities and adventure guided by experienced therapists.

Exciting activities such as mountain biking, hiking, river rafting, rock climbing, boating, horseback trail-rides, and even fishing are used to teach valuable life lessons in a way that connect with the boys and translate to insights which help them overcome personal issues and improve family relationships.
