THE WAY KIDS CAMP
Welcome Out on the Frontier
Where young ranch hands will learn what it really means to herd cattle, tend the land and have a ton of fun and adventure. From 9AM till 12PM, kids will join in singing, learning, playing, creating and snacking—all while building faith, fun and friendship!

Ranchers will each receive their own kit with the Crew Bandana (to be worn every day as a group identifier), stickers, and camp badge. Each day there’ll be an assortment of both healthy snacks and sweet treats.
On the last day we’ll have a free Chuckwagon Lunch for all the campers with their families to celebrate our time together, coordinate playdates with new friends, and enjoy some fun activities!
