Clues to fit

Community and belonging — cabin group as family

Cabin groups quickly feel like family – creating community, a sense of belonging, and developing friendships that last long after their week of camp is over. Campers learn empathy, how to encourage others, and how to invest in meaningful relationships.

Programs & camp life

Horn Creek — Ranch facility for youth summer camps

Originally built for Youth Camps, Ranch has been enhanced to be a great facility for adult and family groups as well. Nevertheless, Ranch's "bread and butter" is ministering to youth during the summer. This historic camp location can house more than 200 campers. The variety of housing options makes Ranch the most versatile of all the Horn Creek facilities. From rustic, bunkhouse-style cabins to newer cabins and "micro-lodges," there are options for all types of groups. Ranch is also equipped with a unique, indoor amphitheater-type meeting space, fully media-equipped, as well as a huge meeting area we call "The Big Room." Ranch is conveniently positioned right beside the Horn Creek Recreation Center and the water slides.
