  • “We were desperately searching for help for our 14 year old son, to no avail... receiving regular calls from school regarding classroom behavior and disruptions, suspensions, bullying, etc... For years, we had tried therapy, medications, counseling and the list goes on, yet nothing helped... until we found the help we needed from you! THANK YOU! We are healing. We are blessed. We are grateful to you for helping to make this happen. We thank God for the Sheriffs Youth Ranch!”

  • “I was part of the second group to ever be at the Caruth Camp. I also believe I was the second person to ever graduate from the program. I will never forget my experiences there and believe that they contributed to getting as far in life as I have... Life lessons learned early are priceless!”
