Families in Des Moines, Iowa Come to Master’s Ranch for Their Boys Who Need a New Direction in Life

Master’s Ranch is a new home for adolescent boys who need proper direction to change the course of their lives. The therapeutic program makes much of the value of work, taught through agricultural work, assigned chores in the dorms and kitchen, and an extensive vocational program. Boys live in a disciplined environment, learning respect for authority and personal responsibility. We value education as a privilege, and we teach boys to look at it the same way.

Master's Ranch Christian AcademyWe begin with physical exercise to bring boys up to a basic level of fitness. They gain strength, they have a reason to feel good about about themselves, and they experience a positive achievement as they begin to see progress in their fitness goals. Those achievements carry over into other areas. In work projects and vocational skills and even in their education, their accomplishments develop confidence so that boys are built up. Meanwhile, we help boys come to terms with the ramifications of their past behaviors. Their thinking clears and their destructive behavior is replaced with character and integrity.Teens at Master’s Ranch have a reason to succeed.

We give group and individual counseling and ongoing mentoring and spiritual guidance.

Students participate in daily devotions and weekly church services, so they have the chance to ask questions about God and discover a relationship with Jesus. Many of our boys think of the directors at Master’s Ranch, as their second parents and a large number come back to work on the ranch or to spend time with us. We have a lot of fun on the ranch, too. Boys spend a great deal of their free time camping, playing sports, and just learning how to have healthy fun again.
