About Sundance Canyon Academy
Sundance Canyon Academy is a residential treatment center for boys ages 13 to 17 who are struggling with emotional and behavioral issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, school failure, and low self-esteem. With an average stay of 9–12 months, the program supports lasting change through personalized care, therapy, and academics in a secure, home-like setting.
The center blends evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and child parent relationship therapy (CPRT) with holistic tools such as mindfulness, recreation, and service work. Each boy receives individual, group, and family therapy from licensed professionals. A relationship-based model builds trust and accountability, helping students grow emotionally, reconnect with family, and gain confidence in themselves.
Students live in shared rooms within a staff-secure, family-style home in Utah, with access to sports, a recreation center, and weekly outdoor expeditions like rafting and hiking. Healthy meals, life skills training, and a culinary program build independence. Small class sizes and accredited academics keep students on track for graduation.
