HISTORY OF TREE:
After being in Scotland for fifteen years, Bob and Jenny were approached by some French people of the possibility of a similar camp in France "We have nothing like this in France" (said in a French accent).
Reply - in an Aussie accent - "Well if you can find an old school or disused property let us know and we would come and help".
They did. We went and Teen Ranch France began.

After a few years of trying to learn French, we were invited to Romania. After visiting a few possible places we went to a camp started by Swiss Christians in the Lepsa mountains. The camp was not progressing well, so it became Teen Ranch Romania. By this time we felt the need of an extra branch name for T.R.S. work overseas so, T.R.E.E (Teen Ranch Expanding Europe) was born.
Teen Ranch Expanding (in) Europe and we were glad we were, because soon "I hear you start camps for kids, will you come to Poland?". This contact lead to another which took us to the North of Poland. A beautiful lake and Teen Ranch Poland was born.
Well amazingly the unexpected continued to happen and Bob and Jen are having a holiday of a life time in Kenya. On holiday, but not off duty because our work is our life. Teen Ranch Kenya, so T.R.E.K.
The trip to Kenya lead to Zambia only which seeing the need of the kids there, we were challenged to try again so hence T.R.E.Z. That would not do so put them all together: T.R.E.E. Teen Ranch Expanding Everywhere. Six camps and open for more if God leads.
