I want to tell you how much we appreciate everything you are doing with our son. We feel so blessed that we found you when we did. We knew from the time we visited the school and the very moment we were greeted when we arrived we were at the right school. I want to thank you and tell you it takes very special people to do what your doing. Keep up the good work.

I want to thank each and everyone of the staff at Spring Creek Lodge for giving my son the power each day to hold himself accountable for his actions in his life. For showing him the ways to go look forward and turn his head around so that he looks towards the future and not the past. There are not enough words to describe your gifts to our lives. Thank you from my heart for all you do for all the children at Spring Creek. Kathryne

A huge heartfelt thanks to Ms. Patty, Ms. Mickey, Ms. Kim, Mr. Mike, Ms. Carolyn and Ms. Cammy and the entire “Park” staff.
Thank you for your dedication, support, and compassionate nature in caring for and educating my daughter during the 22 months she was at SCLA and the Park. The tools she learned have been invaluable and long reaching. I see her using those tools and experiences in her everyday life now, nearly a year later since she graduated from the program.
Many Hugs and Blessings to all,
Diane

To everyone at Spring Creek Lodge Academy,
I have been a Deputy Sheriff for over 30 years so I feel that gives me a certain amount of credibility when I make the following observations. When an institution attempts to deal with a troubled youth and a family in turmoil it is a recipe for conflict and challenge. There is no more fertile ground for misunderstandings and yes sometimes even anger and hate. No institution is perfect and no individual is infallible. However in all my experience I have never met or talked with a more motivated and caring group of people. I have seen first hand a functioning institution that has chosen to deal with one of the most difficult problems in our society today. So many people complain about our youth and the disintegration of the family unit but do nothing to make a difference. You all have chosen to make a difference and by doing that you have all become a light in the darkness. Please accept my most heart felt love, respect and admirations for your efforts.
Thank you for being there for my son.

Good Morning Mary,
I am writing to express my appreciation for the great experience we
just had at the first PC2 at Spring Creek. I feel very fortunate to
have been invited, and being there for this first one. I want to
commend Mr. Shane for the outstanding job he did, and the
Family Rep’s for their incredible support. I was also very impressed
with the Upper Level kids that were staffing as well. When we arrived,
we really did not know what to expect. For us, this was our second
time seeing Russell since his escort on December 5, 2006. I feel it was this
seminar that was the turning point in Russell’s program. I really believe the
way this one process unfolded, and with the involvement of the family reps,
especially our rep, Mr. Jim O, this is what made all the difference
in the world for our son. What he had to say was exactly what needed
to be said and heard by all of us; myself, my husband, and Russell.
We gathered back in to our families to discuss what it is that’s
holding us back and what we need to do to be at a +5 level, and
committed to graduating the program. It was during this time, that I
encouraged Russell to finish what’s been started. “It may take a few
more months - but we (your family) will always be there, waiting for
the day you return home. Just think how proud you’ll feel when you
graduate the program, and finish high school. Trust me, it will all
be worth it!” You see, Russell will be 18 the end of March, and has
been planning his exit. When we saw Russell the next morning, he
informed us that he WILL be staying to graduate the program. This
tiny little mustard seed of faith & hope that I had… is a tremendous
answer to prayer, and all a part of God’s plan for our lives.
Thank you Mr. Shane, for an incredible PC2 experience, and Mr.
Jim O for the unconditional love and support you’ve shown us - and
for your part in helping us to rebuild this broken family, into more
than we could ever imagine. It is through your hard work and
dedication that we will be forever grateful.
God bless you!

To Whom It May Concern: I am so thankful that there is a program like this. I have a daughter that was making the wrong choices. I was afraid for her life. I know that this school will help her learn how to be accountable for the things that she does and to make her choices the right choices. I had the opportunity to go to the seminars. That help us to be better parents and to break the habits in why my daughter was sent to the school. I wanted to change so my daughter can come home to a better place. I am thankful to my family rep. She is a strong person and she is the best to help my daughter. We can communicate very well. I appreciate all that is being done for my daughter. Thank you with all my heart,
Judy

Dear Spring Creek Lodge, I am honored to write this letter to you. Where would my family be today, without all of you? Each person that works at Spring Creek has a very important job and for some it is twenty-four hours a day. Our family feels blessed that you have tools that can be taught for our son to learn and grow to be successful in the world. My son has the opportunity to find his way through life through the love and structure you provide. I was very impressed the day I visited in April and I am more impressed now. I look forward to my weekly calls from our family representative and feel lucky that we as parents are a part of this process through classes, workshops, seminars that we get to participate in, just like the students. Because of your facilities, especially Spring Creek Lodge, our family has an opportunity to heal and grow back together. Our house will be happy again in the near future. Thank you for everything you do! Sincerely,
Debbie
