"people can't make life changes when they don't feel safe.  I envisioned a place far away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life - a peaceful place where children and teens can come and not only be safe, but also be given the tools to take their lives in a positive direction."  -Dr. Richardson

We are a Christian-based program. We teach traditional ethics and morals and remind children how important the values of honesty, respect, teamwork, and accountability are to their success.
