As they watch staff and leaders who submit to God as the ultimate 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 freedoms are restored. Careful training of parents in our retreats also happens during this phase in preparation for the teen’s return home.

All throughout the program, the teens receive regular counseling and attend our on-campus, fully accredited junior and senior high school, taught by Georgia certified instructors.
