A Beautiful Bonita Springs Campus

Our semi-rural 156-acre campus in Bonita Springs provides a peaceful respite from the chaos that crisis can create. We are here for the children who need us the most…to help them thrive and succeed. We serve boy and girls from the age of 4 to independent living, caring for the whole child – physical, educational, social, and spiritual needs.

A Home and Family for Vulnerable Children

The Ranch provides a safe, sustaining home and family to children in crisis, providing 365 days and nights of wraparound care. A variety of therapeutic and recreational activities give children the opportunity to work through their circumstances while enjoying childhood to the fullest.

 

Children are provided a Christ-centered home focused on bridging academic deficits, learning life skills, developing interpersonal skills, and working together as a family. We address academic, emotional, behavioral, and social challenges of the children and families we serve – thereby changing the cycle for today and for generations to come.
