Testimonials

My grandson went to the challenge Academy and came out a different person, it was the greatest thing that could happen to him.

The Challenge Academy formed me into the woman I am today, I have self discipline, the program was very rewarding. I’d recommend it for anyone struggling to continue on the right path. I think about it every day, and would love to go through it all over again, you may not like it when you’re there every day, but I promise you will miss it every day for the rest of your life. I have now been in the medical field the last 10 years working as a laboratory technician. I have used all the knowledge I learned at the academy in my every day life as a mother, daughter, coworker, and friend. Thank you Challenge Academy for making my life truly amazing.

This program is great to give kids a chance to succeed! The mentor program is great! Kim’s mentor helps her keep on track after the program! They go out for lunch once a month still!

The Challenge academy turned my life around by firmly establishing the necessary character traits to be a capable and productive person such as discipline, self control, and accountability.

For me; the Challenge Academy instilled life long ways to live. From being in society, to working as a team, and loving as a family. Being a part of the graduating class of 24 forever changed my life. Courage, honor, integrity, discipline, and commitment are not only words that I live by; but life mottos. I’ve taken what I learned at the challenge academy and applied it as my way of life, in all aspects of my life. These are mottos that we are now teaching our children. I couldn’t be more grateful for all of the Team Leaders, Senior Team Leaders, and Instructors that helped shape me into the woman I am today.

The academy is a truly fantastic program, it shows young men and women how to evolve and become great adults. It personally taught me how even though we make mistakes we can still carve out a new path and make our way in life.

I'm so pleased and impressed with the Academy! If it weren't for the Academy and all of the time that the amazing staff had taken to be there for my son Zachary he never would have graduated from Lomira High School! He had learned so much at the Academy work ethic first aid cleanliness respect so many things that I can't even name them all! I just want to say that any child that needs a second chance at life this is a perfect program! This is a true blessing to all of the kids and families that have family members that attend this program! Thanks for all you have done for my amazing Son Zachary Sonnentag! I'll never be able to thank you enough! Forever grateful for this amazing program!
