Your Top Questions Answered Why do children come to Eagle Ranch? Families turn to Eagle Ranch when emotional and behavioral issues with their child have reached a crisis point. Sometimes, this occurs after a traumatic event, such as a death in the family, or as a result of a build-up of problems that have not been addressed. How many children do you help? What ages? Eagle Ranch can help up to 66 children, including 42 boys and 24 girls. We accept children between the ages of 8-15, with middle school aged children (grades 6-8) making up the majority of our population. How are families involved? Eagle Ranch provides a healthy environment for children to be reconciled with their families. Children go home every other weekend and on holidays to keep the family connected and practice what they’ve learned through the Ranch. Families participate in counseling, parent support groups, worship nights, educational events and more. Our goal is to help the entire family restore and strengthen relationships, communication, accountability and resiliency. Do the families have to pay? In our 35 years of serving children and families, no child has ever been turned away because of the inability to pay. We ensure access to families of all income levels. More than 95% of Eagle Ranch’s program costs are covered through donations. We charge a small fee, based on income, to affirm a family’s commitment to our program. What is your campus like? Eagle Ranch encourages children to be active on our beautiful, wooded 315-acre campus. Boys and girls live in one of 10 homes (6 boys’ homes, 4 girls’ homes) in a neighborhood-like setting. Children benefit from an on-campus, SACS-accredited school for grades 6-9, dedicated equine center and a variety of recreational facilities. “Mending lives takes patience and time. The most rewarding impact of Eagle Ranch’s work is seen in boys and girls who worked through their struggles and have grown into adults with their own families. Eagle Ranch represents God’s hands of healing love.” ELIZABETH HARRIS, FORMER FIRST LADY OF GEORGIA
