As we enter the season of the “VISIONARY” on our Medicine Wheel curriculum — the place of new beginnings and life dreams — we have some exciting news to share!
At our 12th anniversary celebration during the latest Family Seminar, we announced that we have entered into a lease-to-own agreement for the purchase of our current campus! And… on Monday, May 18th, Cherokee Creek Boys School purchased 39 acres of property near our campus, enough to hold our many dreams!
As you can see in the first photo, there are acres of flat pastureland that will soon be turned into playing fields for the boys. Our field sports include soccer, softball, lacrosse and football, so the fields will be great for practice. It will offer great space for running, organic
gardens, a gymnasium and other buildings. The property also contains an organic chicken coop, so be prepared for fresh eggs on your next visit!
Included with the purchase is the Koblick House, built by the former owners Ian and Tonya Koblick. Named in their honor, this unique home is a fully-furnished 3,300 square foot log house that will initially ser
ve as a place for staff retreats and a meeting place for parents and guests.
Additionally, there is a guest cabin, a 3-bedroom double-wide mobile home, a 60′ x 40′ steel building shop with electricity and concrete floor, three covered sheds, four enclosed sheds, a goat barn, and a horse tack room. Goodness! And, as that weren’t enough, we are also inheriting a truck, tractors, trailers, generators, welders, saws and all kinds of interesting equipment for the 
upkeep of the property. We foresee the building and creation of many new things in our future!
Our first dream will be the construction of a gymnasium. The long-term plans are currently being envisioned by the CCBS team, and we will keep you apprised of our progress. As Walt Disney once said, “If you can dream it, you can do it!”
What would your dreams be for the future of Cherokee Creek Boys School? We’d love to hear from you!
