Brightwood Ranch

Is a great place to make many new friends and renew old acquaintances. In a Christian atmosphere of love and acceptance, with caring councilors, hope is brought into the lives of many children. Trained staff strive to make every moment memorable for each camper. With carefully developed programs, graded skills, and unstructured recreation staff will help campers learn discipline, self confidence, personal respect and character. Although a full program of outdoor activities is available, campers also profit from learning about Jesus Christ and discussing the issues of life.

Junior Camps

Each day from the wake-up call to lights out, campers will be busy enjoying a wide variety of activities, both learning new skills and just having a lot of fun. With three hearty meals to provide sufficient energy, children can enjoy riding a horse, trying to hit a bull’s eye in archery, or a thrilling ride on the zip-line. Other activities will include crafts, skateboarding, riflery, puppetry, wilderness skills, drama, fun chapel, tether ball, cookouts, cabin group, and bible studies. Of course, the day would not be complete without visiting the tuck shop to stock up on those favorite treats. Each day will end with chapel where campers will have the opportunity to sing songs and learn about God.

ABOUT CAMP FEES

Dear Parents,

In the past, camp has been offered to families for free. We have recently decided to have a suggested camper fee for those who cannot afford the full cost of camp.

We want to stress though, that we do not want any child to miss out on camp because of finances.

If you cannot afford to pay the fees as suggested below, simply fill out the registration form and mail it to us. Brightwood Ranch will gladly take care of the costs for you.

Brent and Arlene Ankrom

“Christian camping has been in my blood ever since I was 16. I went to camp through an inner city youth organization in Winnipeg when I was 9, accepted Christ at camp when I was 15 and started as a counselor the next summer. I was asked that year what I wanted to do with my life and I said I wanted to be a Camp Director. Most of the significant decisions and times of growth for me have happened while serving at camp.”
