Being without technology and other conveniences leaves time to contemplate more meaningful issues of life. The necessity of working together to meet basic daily needs demands coping and teamwork strategies, pushing teens to consider their obligation to others. As they observe staff and leaders who submit to God as the true Authority, they find a reference point for themselves and can better relate to authority and to others.

This phase gets them ready to transition into society as privileges and individual liberties are restored. Careful coaching of parents in our retreats also happens during this step in readiness for the teen’s return home.

During both parts of the program, the teens receive regular counseling and attend our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, staffed with Georgia certified instructors. We desire students to continue their studies in college, so we incorporate test prep for the SAT and ACT as part of our daily curriculum.
