The elective classes offered at Sorenson’s Ranch School are very diverse. As an example Foods and Nutrition classes help students learn to prepare and eat nutritous meals and the importance eating right plays in overall health. They learn that making physical activity a part of that their daily routine is also an essential part of their well-being. At Sorenson’s Ranch School, struggling teens have the opportunity to participate in cooking labs once a week. In these labs they learn basic cooking techniques, such as reading a recipe, measuring, and preparing healthy menus. The students are always under close supervision, and are able to learn essential life skills.
Another unique area in which Sorenson’s Ranch helps troubled teens and students is learning about finances. When did you first learn about balancing a checkbook? When did you learn about managing your credit cards and other finances? Many troubled youth in today’s society do not fully understand these and other financial concepts, so Sorenson’s Ranch offers a Financial Literacy course. The course helps students learn to write checks and will help them understand how the banking system works. They learn about insurance and investments and they use a “Hands on Banking” interactive computer course that will help them become more financially responsible.
These unique classes and many others help Sorenson’s Ranch assist troubled teens in receiving the education that they need. Small class sizes and a dedicated staff make the education at Sorenson’s effective and life-changing. Education is important and cannot be overlooked when searching for a troubled youth camp or boot camp program. Sorenson’
