Program Info

      Spring Creek Lodge Academy is a year round boarding school designed to provide a highly structured and scheduled environment for adolescents who have chosen to stray from acceptable family standards into one of drugs, alcohol, negative peer interaction and low self-esteem. Our primary concern is to help families and their child/children become a functioning family again. Our secondary concern is academics. The two are interconnected; yet separate, since the academic progress is the end result of the student consistently working the program. Through structure and the day-to-day interaction with staff and students (in a family setting), the students learn "new habits" to assist them in coexisting with others here and also at home.

Seminars

      One crucial ingredient of the Self-Help Program is the Premier seminars and workshops specifically designed to teach character building. They educate the student in dealing with non-working issues and help the student to refocus on key character-building qualities such as responsibility, accountability, honesty, proper choices, integrity, trust, self-esteem, and family goals.

Parent Participation

      Parents are an integral part of the growth and success of their child through the following involvement:

Weekly Phone Calls - Parents are kept up to date on their teen's progress academically, behaviorally, medically, and emotionally by their personal Family Representative. This is also the time for parents to ask questions, dispel concerns, and receive coaching on communication with their child through letters and later, through phone calls.

Parent Seminars - While the student is completing his or her series of seminars, the parents are invited to attend Parent Seminars held in many locations throughout the United States. The culmination of the Premier Seminars is when parents and students are invited to attend three effective Parent/Child Workshops. These are designed to assist each family in improving communications, addressing issues, creating a family purpose, developing goals, and strengthening relationships.

Monthly Support Groups - Many cities have parent/child support groups where parents may meet, encourage each other, share information, or simply talk to others that share their same concerns. Expect to interact with parents that have had children complete the program as well as those that are just beginning.
