Description

New Hope is designed to help young men and women build character, acquire self-discipline, develop stamina, increase accountability, and to learn appreciation of others. New Hope specializes in the treatment of young men and women between the ages of 11-20, who are experiencing conduct and behavior problems. The individual treatment planning at New Hope is aimed at facilitating a change of heart, healing and strengthening family relationships, and inviting new beginnings. We have one competent staff member for every two young people.

New Hope is an arena for relationships, a dedication to excellence, and a commitment from our staff to be involved with the young people, working together to provide a setting for change in the heart of struggling kids. We offer hope and direction to families caught in crisis situations with their teens.

My family and I have been missionaries among the YanomamA Indians for 27 years. We have 5 children, 4 married and actively serving the Lord. Our youngest is still at home in High School. We have lived, for the most part, 300 miles into the Amazon Jungle of Venezuela and Brazil. We are experts in Jungle Survival, as well as in using horses to facilitate behavioral changes. I am an Equine Specialist, Equine Assisted Learning specialist and EAGALA certified. I coached both varsity football and basketball in Florida. We have 30 years experience in teaching, counseling, and coaching, ranging from youth to adults.

New Hope is structured to facilitate change in the hearts of these youth from a Christian perspective. Our program is a 21 day program, where the young people and qualified staff live deep in the woods in tents. All of the demands of everyday living takes place there, isolated from all of modern-day conveniences. We use horses as the main activity to work with the youth. The first 2 weeks is all done with ground work with the horses, which also facilitates therapy as well as hard work. In the last week, we actually teach the young people to ride and spend time doing some trail riding. Each day, there are required physical exercises that we do together.

The ultimate goal of New Hope is to see the young people making positive choices in their lives, changing their heart attitudes positively, to facilitate a better relationship with their parents. We certainly believe Jesus Christ is the focal point for change, after one recognizes a heart need.

Very disappointed with the assessment of my teen , stuck in a psychologically abusive home alone with an aging father. She received no tools to deal with going back into that situation. His pathological behavior received no comment. I have no legal rights to make any changes which was made VERY clear before camp. Alot of money for an ok camp time, but insufficient time and training to deal with domestic violence, the PTSD and fallout from it.
