These alumni families provide support and encouragement for parents throughout the treatment process. · We currently have a culturally diverse student body; our students are African- American, Asian, Caucasian, Hispanic, and Middle-Eastern. · SBR has students from every region of the United States. Dear Kreg and Silverado Staff…everyone (Denise, Jeff, Mr. P., Sean, Eric, Linda, Ms. Davis… and more…)
Almost one year ago, I was faced with the painful realization that my son, Elias, was lost and headed towards a dark future due to bad decisions, bad associations, drugs and alcohol, and lack of self-esteem. My beautiful boy, who was once compassionate and gentle, had become a stranger in our home. He no longer cared about himself, his appearance, his family, or his education. He was angry and depressed and I could find no way to reach out to him other than look for a solution outside of my home.
I spent many, many sleepless nights on the internet, looking for a place that might save Elias. There are many schools and programs out there for teens, but when I found Silverado, the mission statement stood out for me,” Work, Play, Love”. The concept of a disciplined experience with education, recreation, and so important to me, love, was an especially important factor for me in making my decision of where to send my son. I had many phone calls with Denise, who held my hand and was understanding about our situation with Elias. She made me feel like I was not alone, that there were solutions to the problems that we were experiencing, and that Silverado could help my boy.
I made the difficult decision to send Elias to Silverado after he spent 7 weeks at a wilderness program. I thought that he would be ready to come back home, transformed and new after wilderness. Like many families who have sent their kids into this kind of program, I discovered that it was only the beginning of the healing that needed to take place. Elias needed to get perspective, as did I. He was not happy that he was not coming home, and I was disappointed that this was the way things had to be. I wanted my son home; yet he was not the boy that I thought I knew. We all had work ahead of us, both Elias and the rest of the family. I knew Silverado was the right place for him- if he could not be home, he would be in an environment that was safe and caring and would give him tools for being a good man.
Elias understood the program at Silverado and progressed rapidly through the levels. There were definitely setbacks, and all of us learned from them. He gained tremendous self-esteem, as he was able to prove himself academically (for the first time in his life) and become a role model for other students. During this time, we had weekly family therapy sessions as well as individual counseling. Jeff Swain, our therapist, was wonderful, honest, and caring with us. This time gave us a tremendous opportunity to heal and to become strong in our commitment to our family and ourselves.
I am so incredibly proud of my son. It was very painful for him to be away from home for almost one year. And, he did it with his head up and an a full understanding of how he got there. He is accountable for the choices he made that took him to Utah, and he knows that being at Silverado was a life preserver. Now that he is home, I truly have my beautiful boy back. This is the Elias that I lost and Silverado help find him, and to find himself. I cannot express the gratitude and love that I feel for all of you at the school. I know that you gave my son a sense of belonging and family and comfort when I was thousands of miles away. You loved him when I was not there to show him. For this alone I am eternally grateful.
I am looking forward to writing to you as Elias continues to grow and flourish in his life. I am hopeful that he will be another one of Silverado’s success stories. He is confident that he will! We hope to return to Utah around Christmastime so he can see you all again and we can hug you and thank you in person.
Again, thank you for giving our boy back to us. You will always have a special place in my heart for all you have done.
With great love and gratitude,
K.A. Chicago, IL
Work, Love and PlaySummer 2008 Following the core values of work, love and play, Silverado is excited to share some exciting Work (Academics)• Silverado Academy Building
• Overview At Silverado, we are proud of our academic rigor. Students often comment that the curriculum LOVE (Therapy) • Program Graduations
Play (Residential Activities)• Community Service
April 19, 2008
Numerous students from Silverado Boys Ranch have recently donated their weekly allowance, their snack shack money, and even their savings, in some cases (from their SBR earnings accounts) to help a local Panguitch family.
Gary Harp has been raising two children on his own for the last few years. His 11 year-old daughter Josie was tragically killed in a hunting accident on April 7th. Small town communities come together at times like this to offer support and assistance. The Silverado students received word of the tragedy and asked if they could help. SBR management agreed to “match” any student donations. The response from the students was overwhelming.
The local community is also organizing a rodeo and a silent auction to assist the Harp family. The ranch boys and staff, in addition to their monetary contribution, have offered six hours of spring-cleaning to be put out for bid during the auction. We are hoping for an excellent bid, as the community has become well acquainted with Silverado’s strong work ethic; every Friday one of the ranch teams is found performing a community service project. The boys have been involved in painting, roofing, pruning, delivering wood to the elderly, sweeping parking lots, providing landscaping, adopting highways, and decorating for various holidays.
In today’s society, adolescents are often stereotyped as self-centered and self-absorbed. We are very proud of our boys for their selflessness, and for engaging in service activities which demonstrate care and concern for others, and which “make a difference” in the community.

Winter 2007-2008 Updates
Following the core values of our program, we are excited to share updates regarding our academic, clinical and residential components.
Work ~Academics
High School Graduation We are proud to announce three students have received their diplomas from SBR. The boys are now attending local colleges near their hometown.
Overview Teacher to student ratio remains 1 to 10. Sixteen students currently have a 3.0 or better grade point average and 20 students maintain a grade point average above 2.0.
Renovations In June our 9000 square foot academic wing will be completed Additions include nine spacious classrooms, a science lab and computer lab. Faculty will have state of the art equipment, such as interactive whiteboards, allowing teachers to continue assisting students to achieve academic success.
Love ~ Therapy
Program Graduations Twelve students have completed every requirement of the value-based level system. Based on the word TRUST, the boys have demonstrated their skills in being Truthful, Responsible, Understanding, Serving and Tenacious. Students leaving SBR have returned home to their families and enrolled in traditional boarding schools.
Substance Abuse In addition to substance abuse issues being addressed in individual, family, and team group therapy facilitated by individual therapists, we have added AA/NA meetings during the school week. A cabin coach/shift supervisor with over 30 years of sobriety leads two voluntary groups a week.
Parent Workshops In December, over 100 parents were on campus for Parent Workshops. Families participated in family conferences, multi-families groups and attended workshops that addressed issues related to parenting styles, adoption and communication. Parent/teacher conferences were also held. The highlight of the weekend was Friday evening, during which there was a slide show and talent show produced by the boys. Our spring workshop is scheduled for April 24th – 26th.
Play ~ Residential Activities
Community Service Projects include volunteering at Best Friends Animal Society (which is the nation’s largest sanctuary for abused animals), spending time assisting with arts & crafts projects at Retirement homes,chopping wood, stocking wood piles and shoveling snow for the elderly in Panguitch. Our students have assisted the local community with holiday decorating, clean up, and adopting a highway. Most recently, the boys have begun working with the Forest Services for assistance with trail maintenance.
Music During parent weekend, two very talent bands entertained everyone. Each band consisted of four students who played guitars, drums and sang. They were so good; it inspired a current parent to donate a number of amps and other musical equipment to the Ranch. The parent, who is a professional musician, recently came out and spent time at the Ranch. He performed for the staff and students and helped the boys with their music.
Activities Winter is a fun time at SBR. The boys are enjoying ice fishing, snowboarding, skiing, and sledding. Several have made their own toboggans. Indoor activities have included going to the movies, bowling, and trips to St. George.
Basketball In January, Eric Fawson, Clinical Director, formed a basketball team. Students were given the opportunity to try out regardless of their level. Over 22 students tried out for the team. The “Silverado Outlaws” play weekly games against local teams in Panguitch. So far, their record is 6-1!
Overall Program Updates We are in the process of opening another cabin for student living accommodations. Over 90% of our students have successfully completed a wilderness program prior to enrollment at SBR. Almost all of our parents tour and spend time at the ranch, prior to choosing SBR. We currently have a culturally diverse student body that represents every region of the US.
The staff of Silverado whole heartily appreciates your support. We are thrilled the program continues to grow to meet the needs of families and their sons. If you have not been out to the Ranch, we would love to have you visit. Please contact Denise to arrange for a tour. If you currently have a student at SBR, please feel free to contact us regarding any concerns, suggestions or comments.
December 3, 2007 SCOTT HEATON AT SILVERADO BOYS RANCH Scott’s experience, passion, and commitment compliment Silverado’s core philosophy and belief in providing strong clinical support in a warm and nurturing atmosphere.

Scott has taken his experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist along with his personal experience as a parent of three children and developed a unique parenting program. Accountable Kids was founded in 2002 by Scott and his wife, Traci, and provides a framework to help parents and children develop accountability and responsibility within the home while creating strong and lasting family relationships.
Silverado Boys Ranch September 2007 Evans, Neiss, and Aston Join the Clinical Team at Silverado Boys Ranch
The team is growing at Silverado Boys Ranch. In the last quarter, we have added Brad Evans, M.S.W., C.S.W., Kelly Niess, M.A., M.F.T., and Jan Aston, M.S.W., C.P.C., to the clinical team. They join our Executive Director, Kreg Gillman, Ph.D., and our Program Director, Eric Fawson, L.C.S.W., who will continue to carry caseloads. Each therapist has worked with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings within the therapeutic, residential and chemical dependency fields. Jan Aston will oversee the Substance Abuse component and is currently screening all students prior to placing them in one of her four weekly SA groups. In addition to Jan’s formal psycho-educational Substance Abuse groups, many students participate in a Sunday night open 12-step sobriety meeting which is facilitated by the students themselves. All three therapists are outdoor enthusiasts, who bring tremendous energy and drive to the boys and to the spirit of SBR. Their experience, passion, and commitment compliments SBR core philosophy and belief in providing strong clinical support in awarm and nurturing atmosphere. Silverado Boys Ranch is an owner-operated therapeutic boarding school for boys, ages 13-17. We emphasize a positive peer environment, an emotional growth curriculum, and a value-based level system to assist boys in developing supportive social interactions through teamwork and shared responsibility via *work* love* and *play.
Finding Balance through Work* Love* Play* at Silverado Boys Ranch
Summer 2007 Work, love, and play are the core principles of our program. These cornerstones are the design of Dr. Kreg Gillman, Executive Director and owner of SBR. We offer a unique curriculum that balances emotional growth with purposeful work projects and physical challenges. Our boys are engaged in daily/weekly work projects while attending challenging and rigorous academic classes. At SBR, we believe play is integral to work. Therefore, to help boys find a balance we provide numerous opportunities of self-discovery through fun leisure time activities and outings. This summer the students have enjoyed mountain biking in Gooseberry Mesa, hiking and swimming in picturesque locations such as Lower Calf Creek Falls, and multiple trips to Lake Powell for tubing, waterskiing, and wakeboarding. The boys have honed their skills playing in softball tournaments and white-water river rafting down the Colorado River in Moab. There are plenty of on-grounds activities for the boys to participate in, the skateboard half pipe, (built by students for a work project) receives a daily workout, as does our Silverdome, (multi-purpose gym) and the community swimming pool. Several of our boys have formed their own band and spent many evenings practicing for their first performance at the summer parent workshop held in August. The boys are also exercising their minds and have made several trips to University of Utah Shakespearean Festival. They are concurrently studying The Twelfth Night and Coriolanus in their summer semester and have been able to gain deeper insight to the complexities of Shakespeare. Our boys have clocked many work hours and have made quite the positive impression with our local townsfolk. SBR students have been seen around town laying sod for community members, assisting with landscaping for the local hospital, and adopting a portion of Highway 89 for general cleanup. Their strong work ethic and positive attitudes were acknowledged at the 18th Annual Invitational High School Rodeo when they received a coveted invitation to work and attend the rodeo four nights in a row. Silverado Boys ranch is an owner-operated licensed therapeutic boarding school for boys ages 13-17. We utilize a relationship-based model that integrates real world skills through experiential therapy, challenging academic curriculum, and student-family workshops.
Silverado Boys Ranch Interim Week-April 2007 Longer days and warmer weather signal the long awaited arrival of spring at Silverado. Our boys have packed up their snowboards and their winter gear, and we know summer is coming as the skateboards, wakeboards, and bicycles are now arriving from home. Along with the change of seasons comes a change in our school semesters. At SBR, students attend school year-round, and the extra semester allows students to either catch up or move ahead in their studies. Between semesters, we offer an interim week, allowing the students a break and some time for teachers to prepare for the new term. Our interim week schedule allows the boys to sleep in, eat a leisurely breakfast, and take care of morning chores before taking on some great work projects. The boys decided to clear a plot of land behind one of the dorms and plant a garden. As the Wrangler Down team began their work, the Wrangler Up team wanted to join in and get their turn on the rototiller. It seems like any work project involving power tools or machinery results in boys putting on their work clothes, rolling up their sleeves, and getting busy. As a group, the boys cleared the land and worked the soil for several days. The end result was a massive garden and twenty-four rows, ready for planting. The finishing touches included a nice fence (to keep the critters out), a beautiful rock path, and each team creating their own special scarecrow. The boys are now cultivating seedlings for planting; if Mother Nature cooperates, all will be planted by Memorial Day. The boys took on a second project later in the week. They gathered and formed small groups to design, measure, and cut the wood to build a skateboard half-pipe. The boys worked together and in record time. Once finished, both students and staff shared big grins and high fives as they admired their masterpiece. The finished product not only looked impressive; it is already seeing daily action as the boys work diligently on their skateboarding skills. Silverado Boys Ranch Is an owner-operated therapeutic boarding school for boys, ages 13-17. SBR utilizes a relationship-based model that integrates real world skills through experiential therapy, challenging, academic curriculum, and student-parent-family workshops. Our mission is to provide a positive environment for boys, while guiding them to become respectful, responsible, and resilient young men.
New Residential Director at Silverado Boys Ranch March, 2007 Silverado Boys Ranch welcomes Sean Coles as the most recent addition to the SBR management team. Sean joined SBR as the Residential Director in March, quickly asserting himself in his daily role of supervising both students and staff. Over the last ten years, Sean has been heavily involved in the therapeutic industry as a coach, as a mentor, as a transport agent, and as a program director. Sean’s presence and passion is unmatched, and he is already making a difference with students, with staff, and with families. Sean welcomes the opportunity to work in a positive environment that encourages staff to find balance in their own lives through work, love, and play. When visiting SBR, it is easy to spot Sean; he is typically the one zipping around on his ATV. Silverado Boys Ranch is an owner-operated, licensed therapeutic boarding school for boys, ages 13-17. We have one of the most seasoned and committed management teams in the industry. The ranch is located in magnificent Bryce Canyon County, just minutes away from numerous national parks and prime wilderness areas. SBR utilizes a relationship-based model that integrates real world skills through experiential therapy, challenging academic curriculum, and student- family workshops.
First Winter Parent Workshop at Silverado Boys Ranch
January 2007
Parents began arriving January 17 for three days of family, multi-family and experiential therapy. The first evening’s workshops concluded with a dinner hosted by SBR for all the families to begin getting acquainted and to begin new friendships. Additionally every parent had the opportunity to spend quality time with teachers and our Academic Director, during parent-teacher conference time, to review their son’s progress, grades and individual needs. The boys looked forward to spending time with their parents and families and had plenty of opportunity to do so during shared mealtimes, visiting and recreation time. Our Silverdome, (on site sports center) had quite a workout, and the sound of laughter was heard all the way to the main lodge. The feedback we have received from our parents has been overwhelming supportive and positive. Many parents are initially concerned with placing their son in a new/small program; however, concerns have been replaced with confidence and gratitude at the level of individual attention, amount of therapy and the strong academic focus each young man is receiving. Our Silverado Serenity Prayer
Site Visit by Larry Stednitz, Educational Consultant SILVERADO BOYS RANCH
I met with all of their boys, one giving me a tour and the others at a family style brunch. The boys clearly understood the basic concepts of the school even though many had been there for only a week to four weeks. It was clear that the philosophy was understood and the boys felt that they were a part of the excitement of a new school.
