When you look at your child, you see who they could become, and wonder how to help get them there. So do we.
RAISING HUMAN BEINGS IS AWESOME... AND TOUGH.
As parents, we try to balance the reactive nature of life with the intentionality of raising our children to their full potential - all while they are distracted by technology, social pressures, daily routines, and more.
Enter the best week of summer. We provide an engaging summer camp experience, partnering with you in an intentional plan for your child – a plan that encourages your child to become a confident person who loves Christ.
And it takes place in the backyard every kid dreams of!
Summer Camp
WHAT EVERY KID NEEDS
At Sky Ranch Christian Camps your child will have the opportunity to:
- Form lasting relationships
- Foster independence
- Try new things
- Experience spiritual growth
For almost 70 years we’ve been helping parents inspire, challenge, and encourage.
Feel Secure in Your Decision
We evaluate everything we do through the lens of safety. It isn’t just in the big things, but also in the small things. We are accredited by the American Camp Association, but more importantly, safety is a part of our culture.
Feeling safe frees up the space to have FUN - silly fun for our youngest campers in Texas, all the way to adventurous fun for teenagers in Colorado. Engaging counselors help turn every activity, night event, impromptu dance-off, and meal time into a fun experience that unites cabins together.
We know that when a camper feels secure and is having a blast it opens up the opportunity for them to ask questions and grow in their faith. The intentional plan of the Life Map is woven into camp in relevant, age-appropriate, and fun ways: Bible study, summer theme, and teachable moments with counselors.
Fostering spiritual growth and relationships, year after year.
Each program is guided by an intentional plan where we seek to grow a camper from who they are at 6 to who they can be at 18. This plan is called the Life Map.
Our yearly curriculum answers one of four worldview questions:
Who is God? What is our need? What is truth? Who are you?
PHASE 1: LEARN
During this phase, character development takes place. Through fun and relationships guiding them, campers can come to saving faith in Jesus.
PHASE 2: EXPERIENCE
Campers are challenged to live out what they believe, by putting their faith into action. They are ready and desire to learn more about who God is and who He created them to be. Phase 2 is what we call Leadership Camp.
PHASE 3: BECOME
As developed leaders, former campers are now contributors - serving in their community, church, family, and camp.

Bible Study

- 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.
