Treasure Coast Boys Academy cares for 50 teenage boys at our residential boarding school located on 30 acres surrounded by ranch and orchard country. Over the program, we work to develop character, integrity, hard work, and respect. We promote an environment of positive peer pressure. We give boys ownership in work projects and chapel services on campus to keep them involved in what is their home away from home. We want to see teens grow in their faith in Christ, and we provide worship, chapel services, bible studies, discipleship, retreats and mission trip opportunities to support that growth. Residents also stretch and support each other in their faith. Would any of that happen in a military school or boot camp? That’s unlikely.

Our recreational and sports facilities include a well-equipped gym and a professional array of weight machines, soccer field, baseball diamond, basketball court, pool, game room, fishing ponds, and horses. We often go fishing on the Florida waterways and out in the ocean. We also take the boys on an incredible wilderness experience in the mountains of North Carolina during the last month of the boys’ stay. Whitewater rafting, hiking, camping, and other adventures illustrate that life can be both adventuresome and positive.

Counseling takes place frequently during the day, in all settings, through conversations with mentors during work or recreation. We put a strong emphasis on mentorship, providing the boys with positive male role models during their enrollment with us.
