#Why Go To Camp?Camp is a great experience every child can benefit from. Unplugged from the constant buzz of computers, television, video games, and cell phones, children find themselves at camp — making genuine connections with their cabin mates, rediscovering the fun of physical fitness, learning their own strengths, and finding their own voices. The benefits of a summer camp experience for children are enormous! The American Camp Association has done extensive research, and it seems readily apparent that a summer camp experience for kids increases their confidence, their independence, their ability to care for others and their willingness to shoulder responsibility. These are provided by most camps, whether run by 4-H, the YMCA, or a sports camp. But what about Christian camping? Why should Cran-Hill Ranch be your camp of choice? It has been said that a week of Christian camping is equivalent to an entire year of Sunday School attendance. This may be hard to believe at first until you consider that so much of Christian faith is taught by example, through friendship, in the context of relationship. Cran-Hill Summer Camp is designed to create relationships in which faith is intentionally expressed and shared. Cran-Hill Ranch is a place with an intentional focus on experiencing the presence of God and deepening each campers’ relationship with Christ. Through the experience of living in an intentional Christian community, campers are encouraged in their faith, free to ask tough questions, and challenged to respond to God as He calls them to Follow Him. We believe that Camp is great, and Cran-Hill is where great meets God, and lives are transformed. See you this Summer!

@Worry Free RegistrationSave the worry for something else

About Our StaffWe literally scour the globe to bring the best staff here for the summer at Cran-Hill Ranch. Each year we spend over 5 months touring and interview-ing college students all throughout the mid-west. We also partner with Camp Counselors USA to hire international students from all over the world to come and share their lives with us in a variety of areas. Each applicant goes through an exten-sive application, background check and interview process. Once hired they will spend over 20 hours of online training before coming to our week long staff train-ing where they will experience all the activities the campers enjoy, so that when the campers get here they already know why kids keep coming back to Cran-Hill Ranch.

Registering for summer camp shouldn’t cause you to wonder, ”What if something comes up and my child can’t make it, do I lose my deposit?” The answer is, NO! Any amount that you pay will be given back to you, in-full, in the form of a Cran-Hill Ranch Voucher. This voucher is good for ANYTHING at Cran-Hill Ranch. You can use it for another child at camp, RV reservations, one of our programmed retreats, or even ice cream in the Barn Store.So don’t worry, register for camp and get ready for a GREAT summer at Cran-Hill Ranch.

@payment options #we give you choicesWe always give you options in paying for summer camp. You can pay all at once or over time, whichever is best for you. Once your deposit and registration form are in you just need to make sure your balance is paid in full one month prior to the week of camp.

@Why Cran-Hill RanchAge Appropriate Programs

About Cran-Hill RanchCran-Hill Ranch exists to transform lives into the image of Christ. Since 1968 we have been doing this by providing sum-mer camp programs that allow young people a chance to disconnect from ev-eryday life and re-connect with God. We do this by having:•highly trained & excited staff•age appropriate Bible teaching•fun games and activities•lots of new friends•great food•fresh air

At Cran-Hill Ranch we understand that kids learn at different levels and that not all activities are appropriate for all age groups. That is why our camps are broken down into 3 different age levels; IGNITE, FUEL, and MOMENTUM.

#IGNITE is for campers age 7-10. The activities and Bible teaching are designed specifically around the cabin group. We offer more time to get from place to place, higher supervision, and even half week options.

#FUEL is for campers age 10-13. Here campers get more individual options on what they get to do at camp and are able to choose different activities each day on their own.

#MOMENTUM is for campers age 13-17. These weeks of camp offer special out trips like off-site rock climbing, paint ball and over-night horsemanship trail camping. MOMENTUM campers also get expanded specialty camp options like digital photography, worship arts and watersports.

No matter what age your camper is, our highly trained and experi-enced staff are always coming up with new and exciting programs that keep kids coming back to Cran-Hill Ranch.
