Located in Wyoming, Mount Carmel Youth Ranch has a Catholic/Christian focus that helps young men see and recognize the bigger picture and deeper meaning of their lives. With this understanding usually comes certain changes in a young man’s core belief system that clashes with occult involvement, explains Mount Carmel Youth Ranch. As a result of understanding their place in the world and fostering their love of God, occult involvement goes right out the door for the young men at Mount Carmel Youth Ranch.

At Mount Carmel Youth Ranch, the seriousness of just how choices determine eternal reality becomes apparent to the young men in residence there. Thinking about such deep things allows the young men at Mount Carmel Youth Ranch to see the danger of their experiments with the occult.

Mount Carmel Youth Ranch works hard to educate young men in the truth of God’s Holy Word and teaches them how to use this knowledge to better themselves. Once they can apply these teachings to everyday life, personal happiness substantially increases, points out the staff at Mount Carmel Youth Ranch.

The programs at Mount Carmel Youth Ranch help young men understand the seriousness of occult involvement. Some youth enter the program believing they were just “having fun” or “messing around.” The truth, according to Mount Carmel Youth Ranch, is that involvement with the occult has a high chance of leading to violence or destructive behavior, and statistics fully back this up.

Playing with Satan worship or objects of an occult nature seems appealing to many rebellious youth, notes Mount Carmel Youth Ranch staff. This is why the Mount Carmel Youth Ranch program works to direct the interest of their young men to something more meaningful than themselves. Many of the youth today get caught up in the fascination of things forbidden—it appeals to their rebellious tendency, adds Mount Carmel Youth Ranch.

What can begin as a prank can often lead down a dark and dangerous road. Mount Carmel Youth Ranch has seen this type of situation repeated over and over again. There is a saying at Mount Carmel Youth Ranch that sums it all up: “It is the lies you spoke and lived that got you here, and it is the truth that will set you free.”
