Intentional Community
We take the next step in intentional community with a larger focus on learning the design and the purpose of the body of Christ. Because of the limited amount of participants per session, campers are able to build deeper relationships with counselors and other campers in their cabin.
Discernment
In Quest, campers experience ownership of faith through programming and participation in “Real Talk,” an activity where campers learn to give an answer for their faith and navigate cultural issues in a way that proclaims the truth and grace of the Gospel of Jesus. This module is designed to move from just learning the truths of scripture to applying it to their lives.
Intensive Bible Study
Counselors are trained to facilitate Quest’s custom Bible study by asking challenging questions that allow camper led discussions over the truths of the Bible and how to apply it to their lives.
Service Projects
Picking up where campers left off in Morph, the focus on service continues in Quest, where campers move past a face-to-face relational service and process the growth that comes from serving in “thankless” areas. Campers have the opportunity to directly serve camp by assisting with the operations of night events for younger campers. Quest campers serve behind the scenes and learn the character of humility as they recognize the value of laying down their lives out of a response to how Jesus first laid down His life for us.
Sky Ranch developed and implements an intentional plan that builds on itself year after year, and guides us as we design programs and activities for your children, with the goal of helping them become all that God created them to be.

Players need to keep moving to avoid getting hit by the ball. Fun and easy, everyone gets a serious workout.
Bible Study
Sky Ranch’s biblically-based study curriculum answers one of the annually rotating worldview questions:
- Who is God? (The character and nature of God)
- What is our need? (The person and work of Jesus)
- Who are you? (The body of Christ)
- What is Truth? (The Word of God)
Each program will tackle these 4 questions from the Life Map meant to intentionally challenge and encourage our campers where they are at developmentally. By moving through them every four years, campers work through these questions in the different stages of childhood – developing and deepening in their understanding as they mature.
