Gila Christian Ranch - Summer Camps

Junior, Teen, and Family camps are filled with fun, great preaching, and good Christian company. Guests find an environment unlike anything else: one set apart from this world; one of reverse (Godly) peer pressure; one Christ-centered; one filled with a joy this world does not know; and one situated in a beautiful wilderness setting. Accordingly, many decisions for Christ are made at Gila Christian Ranch and lives are often changed. Each camp week is administered by a staff of caring Christian leaders, determined to make you and your family’s experience spiritually positive and profitable.

Due to the financial support of local churches, the monetary sacrifice of our staff, and our determinedly frugal stewardship, Gila Christian Ranch is able to offer a week of camp at a very low rate. See our registration sheets for pricing and other details.

We also feature a yearly Youth Conference and other program events according to local church needs. Registration forms are on this page for your convenience.
