Meet Our Leadership

Linda S. Paulk

President and CEO

Linda accepted God’s call to Sky Ranch in 2007 – a call that she still describes as one of those “no option, no dialogue, obedience driven calls.” After serving 20 years in corporate America, Linda’s passion goes far beyond business. Her heart and passion for young people and families is both enduring and inspiring. In 19 years, her desire has grown deeper for the camping ministry and creating an environment where youth and families can come to know and follow Christ. Linda is a recognized leader in the Christian camping industry and has served on many non-profit and for-profit boards that focus on evangelism and the well-being of youth. She was featured in Texas Women – recognizing women who have blazed trails in their respective fields. Linda is married to her high school sweetheart, Bob, a retired Captain in the U.S. Navy and successful Senior Executive. God blessed them with two children and six grandchildren. Their daughter Ashleigh is married to Ben, and they have four children, Jackson, Presley, Hayden, and Charlotte. Their son Bobby is married to Megan, and they have three children, Georgia, Rhodes, and Grace.

Doug McClain

Vice President of Operations

Doug grew up in the camping and outdoor world. He has a B.S. in Recreation Resource Management, Commercial Recreation, and Tourism from Colorado State University. He has used the camp and outdoor environment for the learning experiences and ministry growth of others since 1984. McClain started in full-time camping ministry in 1998 and has been with the ministry of Sky Ranch since 2004. Doug has a passion to share what he’s learned with others in the camping profession. He is the Vice President of Operations at Sky Ranch Christian Camps and serves on several boards (Christian Camp and Conference Association, Colorado Camps Network) and a variety of committees to help aid the camping community. Doug’s wife, Julie, serves part time at Sky Ranch and is also a Christian Life Coach. They are empty nesters, have two amazing young adult children, and reside in Westcliffe, Colorado.
