							Thank you so much for the wonderful trip. It was amazing as always. I wanted to say how pleased we are with your group leaders. It is obvious they are highly trained but also that they love what they do. Top rated facility with top rated counselors. Love it for our students and our teachers. I greatly appreciate this experience for our students.

							We brought our 7th grade class on a retreat to Meramec Adventure Ranch and it was hands down the best retreat I’ve ever been to with kids. The range and quality of activities at the ranch was outstanding and our kids had so much fun. More important, Brett and Kasey were amazing guides - intentional in teaching and encouraging the kids to do new things and encourage one another. The ranch itself was impressive but the people running it and their heart for teaching kids was even more so. I would take a group back in a heartbeat.

							This place is helping, with our rent situation for me and my family. Miss Kelly and all the women who work there that I have met are wonderful. They are a great asset to the community into the families in Doniphan. May God Bless them all.

							What an incredible day for our team at the Meramec Adventure Ranch. The counselors were incredible with our college team and really made the day. The facilities, environment, team building, and their mission really made it a full circle great day.Would suggest anyone that wants a great memorable day outside for a group of people that want to be motivated, inspired, and come together, this is the place for you!

							My family spent, what would become a week of adventure and healing at Meramec Adventure Ranch during a family Odyssey through the Wounded Warrior Program. Meramec is a top-notch organization run with an unmatched style of character, kindness, genuineness, and compassion starting at the top with Brett and Kassey which is conveyed through to all the staff. The staff ALL love their jobs and know what they do matters, they feel a sense of pride and purpose in what they do, which is reflected onto those they help. The week my family spent with other Wounded Warrior Families was truly life changing for my veteran husband, 11 year old son, and myself. We participated in the adventure barn, ropes course, and horse back riding which helped to teach us communication, trust, and overcoming fears. Along with the Pavillion and Lake, so many laughs and memories were made! Thank you to EVERYONE at MAR who was part of our incredible week and journey. You change lives for the better-what you do matters!

							Absolutely outstanding place I saw people kids and adults conquer fears and in just one week learn to talk to their families better and my son told me he feels more confident and comfortable with who he is. A parent can only do so much it’s places like this that change a child and give them the strength and confidence to be an outstanding, productive and strong adult and member of society. Thank you meramec ranch even the guides are coming away with skills needed to succeed in life truly an amazing and magical place

							My experience at Meramec Adventure Ranch through Project Odyssey was outstanding. but I truly enjoyed everything the ranch had to offer. The beautiful scenery and peaceful environment made it a perfect place to relax and reconnect with nature.One of the highlights was participating in the water activities, including kayaking, canoeing, fishing, paddleboarding, swimming, and other river adventures. These activities were fun, exciting, and provided great opportunities for teamwork and creating lasting memories with others in the program.The staff was friendly and supportive, and the entire experience was meaningful and memorable. I highly recommend Meramec Adventure Ranch to anyone looking for outdoor adventure, personal growth, and an unforgettable experience in nature.

							Oh how do I begin, first and foremost I would like to thank WWP for making this happen for myself and 7 other Veterans going thru some of the same things that I am going through. I didn’t know what to expect but I am so happy with the outcome that I have gotten from spending a week long Project Odyssey at Meramec Ranch in Steelville Mo. I met some amazing people that I now consider family and definitely will keep in contact with. Brett, Kassey and the amazing staff I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking great care of us Veterans as we are going through some tough times in our lives. Not only did you guys help us, you guided us with your max participation as well to get us over our fears and showing us that we are not alone in our journeys to recovery. I have the upmost respect for the staff at the Ranch, you guys went above and beyond for us Veterans and again I would like to say Thank You all again, you guys offered and delivered something that was so special and valuable that I really and truly needed in my life. I can’t wait to come back for the reunion to be around your amazing staff.

							Meghan B. is our absolutely favorite caseworker. Our kiddo was put on her caseload 10 days after getting the kiddo. At the timed, her supervisor, Angela C., had email us saying that our kiddo’s caseworker was sick and that she would contact us within the next 3 to 5 business days. Not even 10 minutes after receiving the Email Meghan has contacted us immediately. She has been phenomenal about answering all questions as this is our first placement And we have lots of questions. She has been phenomenal about Us asking questions within the children’s division site on role as a regulations.

							We have had a wonderful experience with Aurora KVC! Specifically, our caseworker Flor. We feel they have been extremely communicative. I would recommend Aurora KVC any day.			

				Kendra

							Ashley Ford is the case manager and she is absolutely awesome I had to deal with another case manager before Ashley came around and was very disappointed in every which way I'm not going to get into that but getting Ashley as our case manager has truly been a blessed breath of fresh air

							Brett, Kassey, Morgan, and Matt are 4 individuals that are always positive. The Teamanator (lanes) to the High Ropes to the Team Development Course to the Adventure Barn and finally the Primitive Skills, it was all well informed and these 4 always make you happy and secure. This place is the perfect team building site in the country. The food they made everyday was better than going out to a 5 start restaurant. God put the best 4 individuals to run this amazing ranch.			

				Tommy			

			 3/13/2026
			
							Overall I would say that I have very satisfied with how KVC is handling my case especially my case worker Chelle and the lady who supervises my visits with my son Debbie she is very sweet and kind. They both work with me however they can. I have a great love and respect for both of them and will continue to point people in their direction for help and support.

							If you're having difficulty with your child and don't know what else to do for them, bring 'em to Niles. They will be come back to you a better child. Niles has a team of highly trained professionals that care about your child and will go that extra mile to help their children conquer their fears and control their behaviors by identifying the root cause of their issues, and give them ways to deal with it. Along with the parents input, children receive counseling with skilled therapists. Not only do you get this but your child also receives their educational requirements when they're accepted into Niles. Go ahead and do it, you relax and leave your children with kind andknowledgeable professionals that will turn childs life into something better than the path once traveled. New beginnings come with the children that leave Niles & they're destined for greatness.

							Both our boys who were adopted from foster care and had trauma started the KVC afternoon program to help them learn skills. We have been very impressed with the program and staff. They are encouraging and very knowledgeable about trauma and therapy. It was an answer to prayer and allowed my wife and I a break from the stress and we know the boys are in a great place to heal.

							My child had a mental breakdown that was pretty catastrophic to a point of residency ward. Greg shank and the adolescent ward where amazing at first my kid was scared and defiant but the team was so understanding and calm within 5 months my kid was better and now today I’m taking home my son who is better and full of life. Again thank you Greg shank who I believe is one of the best children therapist you could ask for
