Heartlight works hard to create an atmosphere of change for kids that usually don’t desire to make those changes quite as quick as parents and our staff desire.  To do so, Heartlight integrates a structured schedule of activity, and program opportunities amidst the seriousness of dealing with the therapeutic needs of each of the residents.  All of this is accomplished with focus on developing connections.

Activities include the riding and care of horses, wakeboarding and water skiing, bicycling, rappelling and rock climbing, paintballing, and various outdoor activites.  Our program schedule includes a weekly Monday night Q & A event, a Master’s activity program, and optional (even though all attend) Bible studies.  Individual house activities and staff point times all create opportunities for life-changing relationships to happen.

Amidst all the activity, our counseling staff has weekly counseling times and group therapy meetings.

Taking advantage of every teen’s desire for socialization, activity, and the longing to connect with others, Heartlight believes that it is through the exercise of relationships that people change, not through a militaristic display of authority.
