About Spring Creek
Spring Creek Lodge is a specialty school designed for boys who are struggling in their home, school, or community. The Program is a powerfully impacting intervention that includes an effective behavior modification program with a structured daily schedule, a series of highly motivational emotional growth seminars & workshops called "TASKS," a progressive academic program, and daily personal development & emotional growth courses.
Behavior Modification
High standards exist. Inappropriate behavior is confronted, consequented and redirected, while appropriate behavior is reinforced and rewarded. A merit system is used requiring each boy to earn his status and privileges through a standard program using a level system.
Emotional Growth Courses
Ongoing Emotional Growth and Personal Development Courses are an important part of the overall program. These courses effectively utilize resources such as: audio & video tapes, selective reading material, and group feedback sessions.
TASKS
(Teen Accountability, Self-Esteem and Keys to Success)
Students participate in a series of seminars designed specifically for Spring Creek. During the TASKS seminars & workshops, boys work on specific issues such as: accountability, honesty, integrity, trust, choices, responsibility, anger and especially self-esteem. After the boy has completed his series of seminars then the parents are invited to attend a Parent Seminar and two Parent/Child Seminars. Parent/Child seminars are designed to assist each family in rebuilding the family unit.
Activities
On and off grounds activities provide a proper balance of recreation, exercise, learning, personal development and social opportunities. Initially all activities are on grounds. Over a period of time boys may earn the privilege of participating in off grounds activities. The facility is located in a gorgeous mountain area which is conducive to a number of outdoor activities, such as: fishing, hiking, kayaking, rafting, and cross-country skiing. A variety of other activities include movies, bowling, and cultural events.
Academics
Spring Creek Lodge has an extremely progressive academic program. Students can complete courses on an accelerated basis. The curriculum is individualized and competency based, allowing students to work at their own pace and maximize the learning process. Students are not held back by other teens in the class, lesson plans, teachers' schedules, course offerings, or class availability.
Each student is assessed upon admission and then assisted in designing their specific course of study. The teens are tutored by a teacher and in most cases can complete courses on an accelerated basis.
Cost
Compared to other programs with similar professional services, Spring Creek is a cost-effective program at $150 per day plus processing fees.
Growing and Winning
The combination of behavior modification, TASKS, education, emotional growth courses, activities and daily structure assists the boys in making new choices in their lives.
Working together with our parents, as a team, is a key component to the success of the Program. Families have frequent phone contact with their son's case manager, and when appropriate, the boy is included. Communication with the family is instrumental in addressing issues, creating a family purpose and vision, reaching understandings, and setting goals. Commitment to each boy and his family is one of the reasons Spring Creek is so successful.
We truly believe there is not a better option available than what we can offer you and your child through this process.
