El Dorado
Lowell & Bonnie Carlson
Lon Woodbury's Visit
I am told the name means a
place of many riches, and this ranch school is now ready for students.
Lowell and Bonnie Carlson have 305 acres nestled at the base of the
North Idaho Selkirk Mountain range. There are sheep, geese, chickens,
and other farm animals waiting for young people to learn responsibility
through taking care of them. Lowell is a certified teacher and has commitments
from other certified teachers and experienced counselors to work with
the children as El Dorado grows.
Lowell and Bonnie Carlson
have long had a calling to help children with problems. Lowell has been
a teacher, public school administrator, and inter-denominational minister.
They have been foster parents for many years, specializing in working
with kids with behavioral problems.
The Carlsons are looking to
help boys with behavior problems between the ages of 10 and 14. Their
focus is to keep the tuition affordable and will consider partial scholarships
when the cash flow allows. Christian instruction is available when a
child wishes it, but will not be required or pushed. Since there are
so few non-hospital programs working with pre-teens, you might want
to check this out. I have volunteered to help them with admissions screening
and if you have any questions, please call me for more information.
