Alpine Boys Ranch
is a Christian group care facility for boys ages 10-18. Tuition
is based on need and commitment, and need is met through scholarships.
The outdoors is very important in the boys' lives. Healing
is done through three key emphases. "First, is a structured
behavior modification/reality therapy based system which includes
a level system, points chart, and consistent follow through
with emphasis on cause and effect. Second, is a role modeling
system primarily by child care staff aimed at social skills
building, and a value based social outlook. Third, is a strong
emphasis on positive life experiences in our total program
with the goal of building self esteem."
