When Teens Need More Than a Reset… They Need Real Change
Today’s teens are navigating unprecedented pressure.
Academic expectations. Social comparison. Anxiety. Self-doubt. Uncertainty about the future.
For many families, a single breakthrough moment is powerful.
For others, teens need time, consistency, and guided practice to truly shift how they think, feel, and show up.
If you’re like many parents we meet, you may be thinking:
“My teen is capable of so much, but they don’t believe in themselves yet.”
“They need confidence that lasts, not just motivation.”
“I want them to build real skills they can carry into school, relationships, and life.”
You’re not alone. And you’re not asking for too much.
The BOLO Project Summer Session exists for teens ready to go deeper.
Our 6-week summer program is a fully immersive experience designed to create lasting change. It begins with a 2-day weekend retreat, followed by weekly small-group sessions that allow teens to practice new skills, build confidence, and strengthen emotional resilience, their mindset and learn crucial financial literacy over time.
Through neuroscience-based tools, leadership training, and the grounding power of the dog-human bond, teens don’t just learn concepts, they live them, apply them, and make them part of who they are.
This is where growth compounds, confidence deepens, and real transformation takes root.

Why Choose The BOLO Project for Your Teen?
%20(1)_edited.jpg)
Because today’s teens don’t need another lecture ...they need confidence, clarity, and tools that actually stick.
The BOLO Project is a holistic program specially designed to equip teens with the essential skills they need to thrive, both in life and in their academic journey. From building leadership qualities to mastering financial literacy and preparing for college and beyond, we set the foundation for a bright and successful future.
We believe dogs change the way we feel and how we see the world. Science has shown that dogs can play a huge role in reducing stress, anxiety, and depression. The BOLO project takes a dog-centric approach to helping teens “fetch anything they desire in life”.

Real Stories, Real Students, Real Impact
"Whatever you are doing should be taught to all therapists and mental health organizations. We have been struggling with our child's mental health for the past 2 years or so, and we haven’t seen her as happy as she is now since 2021, despite working with multiple therapists. She is so excited to be a part of your program.
The service project component is huge and has always been an area where we have seen her come alive as she loves to help others. I’m sure it’s equally exciting for the other youth in the group.
Thank you for your good work!" - Alicia
