Whetstone Boys Ranch
Whetstone Boys Ranch, established in 2011, is a therapeutic boarding school dedicated to helping young boys aged 12-16 who are facing emotional and behavioral challenges. The ranch offers a nurturing environment where boys can live, learn, and grow through individualized therapy—encompassing individual sessions with licensed counselors, family therapy, and group activities. The curriculum integrates academics with outdoor adventures and hands-on tasks, aiming to instill character development and leadership skills in its residents. With a low boy-to-staff ratio of 3:1, Whetstone emphasizes personalized attention for each boy's unique needs.
The ranch specializes in addressing issues such as anger management, depression, substance abuse, and online addiction. By utilizing evidence-based therapeutic techniques like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Whetstone effectively supports the emotional healing process for its residents. The organization has evolved into a beacon of hope for families seeking transformative support for their sons, focusing on reconciliation within the family unit while fostering personal growth in young men to become responsible members of their communities.
