Rock Solid Refuge is a 12-15 month residential program working with teen boys ages 13-18 who are struggling with life controlling issues. We are located about 50 miles south west of Swift Current, Saskatchewan and about 21 miles North east of Shaunavon.
We at Rock Solid Refuge believe in a Christ centered approach to finding freedom, victory and joy in life. We recognize that when teens are tempted by or struggling with addictive behavior they need tools and support to make healthy decisions. They need a reason to change. They need time to learn and have fun. They and their families need hope that they can change and stay changed for the better. Read More

Message from our Executive Director:
Have you ever had somebody take time out of their life to help you? Has anyone ever supported you through a very difficult crisis or situation? Have you experienced the nudging and then the insistent urgings from God to follow His will? Have you ever been obedient and followed God’s leading even when it became probably one of the most difficult times in your life? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you will have a pretty good understanding as to why the staff here have joined the Rock Solid Refuge team!
It has been a blessing to have each of the staff members here, and we have seen God work both in and through them. The unique aspect of working at Rock Solid Refuge is the truth that God isn’t just working in the lives of the teen boys sent to live here, but he also works greatly in the hearts and lives of all of us as staff members. Most of the students who come to Rock Solid Refuge are brought here because their parent(s) or guardian(s) have brought them out of desperation, and not because the student wants to be here. It is a daily challenge to help the students move from a “I have the right to…” attitude, to consistently follow the rules and guidelines set in place to foster a healthy and mature lifestyle. Many questions of faith and lifestyle come up and therefore we must always be ready to give an answer for our faith in God, and be able to walk these young men through the difficulties they face. All of us here are dependent on God to fulfill our roles, and it is our prayer that we will all continue to grow in our faith in God and be able to be the example the boys need to point them to hope in Christ.
Because of the high ratio of staff to students that it takes to run a program like this successfully, a tremendous amount of our general revenues is used for staff cost and salaries. With this in mind we have asked all of our staff to become more involved in raising awareness and support for the ministry. This will help insure the effectiveness and longevity of the program here at Rock Solid Refuge.
In order for this to happen we need your help!!! I would ask that you prayerfully consider coming along side and supporting the work God is doing through us all. There are several ways you can support Rock Solid Refuge. You can do so right here on our website through your credit card, or we can send you a monthly withdrawal form so that the money you have chosen to give automatically goes from your account to ours monthly. We have a goal to see a small army of $50-$100 / month supporters come along side us. Will you be one of them?
I thank you in advance for your support of the work that has been entrusted to us here at Rock Solid Refuge and ask you to continue to pray for us as we seek to help young men make better life choices, and ultimately turn in faith to God. It would be a great blessing for us all to KNOW that there are people backing us up with both prayer and monthly financial support. If you would like to get involved with us in some other way please feel free to contact us anytime.
