My Three years at PineHaven
The three years that I spent at PineHaven was a lfe changing experience and I really appreciate what Boband Andy Larson are doing for the kids there. My life is totally different because of PineHaven and I am really grateful especially for my awesome House parents that I was able to have there. Dave and Jeanie Moe. They tuaght me a lot while I was up there. I had my ups and my downs, but in the end it my life turned out pretty good. The kids should not waste there time up there they should change and do what they know is right. If they do this there life may turn out for the better.

A GREAT PLACE TO BE!!!
We have had the opportunity to visit Pinehaven for several years and found no better place for a child to learn Biblical values as well as learning basic social skills for their development. With the lack of discipline among children at the local, public school level, I can highly recommend this ranch as one which truly operates on the level. We certainly commend the Larsson's for their devotion and hard work.
May the Lord truly continue to Bless Them as they labor in His work!!!

A coupla entries from the blog Standing in Corners (THE TRUTH ABOUT PINEHAVEN CHRISTIAN CHILDRENS RANCH)[/size]:
Btw, I believe that they are wrong about the founding date ... which, to my understanding, was at some time in 1976. However, IIRC, there was a big change as far as the schooling component of Pinehaven was concerned, and that may have occurred in 1984...

Pinehaven claims to be a residential, year-round program designed to help young people. It’s track record is far different however. It is a structured and controlled environment that has a history of child abuse. It was founded in 1984 by Bob Larsson and wife Nancy Larsson.
Pinehaven does no background checks on employees. Pinehaven has virtually no training process. Pinehaven has no residential counselors, or medical staff on site, and is not a licensed youth rehabilitation facility.
