30 Boys by 2030…Let’s Get There!

Donate to 30×3030 x 30

Whetstone Boys Ranch has a new goal we would like to share with you!

Whetstone Boys Ranch is a therapeutic Christian school that helps struggling boys and their families find reconciliation. God has done amazing work and continues to do so here at Whetstone Boys Ranch daily. Here boys live, learn, work and grow as they experience essential individual, group and family therapy, excellent academics, exciting outdoor adventures, and useful hands-on tasks. We believe in sharpening young men to become true servant-leaders in their families and communities. We treat struggles such as anger, depression, low self-esteem, and trauma with a loving, systems-based approach. This comprehensive method of treatment and restoration sets us apart.

In the first 10 years, we have served over 100 families. This wouldn’t have been done without your help! You have donated your time, money, blood, sweat, and tears to support our mission of sharpening the character of young men.

After much prayer, planning, and then even more prayer, we are convinced that it’s time for Whetstone to grow. We would like our number to grow to 300 families in the next 10 years. 30 x 30 will get us there! That’s 30 boys on campus, by the year 2030. That gives us about 8 years to prepare for 18 more boys than we are currently capable of serving.

I would HIGHLY recommend Whetstone to anyone who has a son who’s struggling. We sent a 15-year-old boy to the ranch and he came back a confident young man! The staff is wonderful – so full of grace & love for these boys. It was worth every penny we spent and I am so thankful for them!!

I’ll keep this short and sweet. My son went to Whetstone because he was out of control at home. Details aren’t necessary, but suffice it is to say the home life situation was untenable. Through the love, patience, and wisdom of the Whetstone staff, my son was basically transformed over nine months. All the exact factors that drove that change can’t be reduced to a formula, but his time there being surrounded by godly men had an absolutely profound impact on him. I cannot endorse this program more highly.

Michael

A great and life-changing experience. I miss the place.

Former Resident

I highly recommend Whetstone Boys Ranch. The staff is individuals of high character, very loving and very good at what they do. The ranch provided a positive and supportive environment for my son to heal and grow.

Ken

Overall we had a positive experience. There were many difficult days but in the end, it was what our family and son needed – a break, an opportunity to change a negative pattern. Our son is thriving now and I’m not sure we would be where we are without Whetstone’s help. I can see how it might not be the right setting for everyone but it was for us. Our son was known, held accountable, challenged, and rewarded.

Carrie

Whetstone was definitely the right place at the right time for our son. It may not be right for everyone but it was the perfect fit for our family. It wasn’t easy but Whetstone made a huge positive difference in our son’s personal growth. The men and women who work at Whetstone are amazing individuals who guide the boys to the very best of their ability.

Dale

As the mother of a young man who graduated the program (and returned two years later as an intern), I cannot sing the praises of Whetstone enough. Thank you for transforming lives and infusing hope.

Elise

I am so proud of these young men who have dedicated their lives to helping boys become men. God bless you Axle and Jeremy as you serve Him.

Carol

Whetstone Boys Ranch offers an exceptional, caring, and expertly executed program to help young men who struggle with ADHD, family, or other issues. The staff members and counselors are absolutely top-notch and put the needs of each resident first as if they were their own children. They are all in and do everything they can to help each boy and their parents. Their program is the real deal. You will not find another boarding school with a finer team or program.
