Quest is the second step in Phase 2 of the Life Map. It is a great experience for a young teen who loves the camp atmosphere and wants to add a deeper spiritual focus to their time at Sky Ranch. Quest campers dive into an understanding of what it means to not just be hearers of the word, but to also be doers.

Quest counselors are hand-picked for the program and a portion of every camper’s day is dedicated to Bible study and leadership development. The aim of the Quest program is for each camper to leave with a greater knowledge of God, a deeper understanding of who they are, and the skills necessary to propel them into the future God designed for them.

What makes Quest unique?

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.

Life Map

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.

Activities

There's never a dull moment at Sky Ranch.

Bible Study

Sky Ranch’s biblically-based study curriculum answers one of the annually rotating worldview questions:

  • Who is real? (God is real)
  • Who is Jesus?
  • Who do you trust? (Scripture)
  • Who are you?

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.

Cracker Barrel

Cracker Barrel is a time for campers to visit the camp store during the day and have structured free time to play games and hang out with friends and counselors, all while enjoying their favorite snack or purchasing a camp keepsake from the store to take home.

Crafts

Get connected to your creative side and enjoy one of the pre-planned crafts. Sky Ranch provides the materials and instructions.

Crazy Pool

Frontier Town

Frontier Town is a fun-packed activity zone featuring the Adventure Playground, T-swing, and a netted arena used for Dodgeball.

Marina

The Marina at Sky Ranch is a waterfront activity area. With AquaTrikes, Canoes, Corcls, and Stand Up Paddle Boards to provide the opportunity for a remarkable experience.

The Block - Activity Center

The Block is our air-conditioned Activity Center, which provides a way for guests to beat the heat by playing games indoors like Basketball, Gaga Ball, Volleyball, and Ping Pong.

Gaga Ball

The more players the better! Dubbed a kinder, gentler version of dodge ball, Gaga Ball is played with a kickball, and combines the skills of dodging, striking, running, and jumping, while trying to hit opponents below the knees. Players need to keep moving to avoid getting hit by the ball. Fun and easy, everyone gets a serious workout.
