2012 Outlaw Ranch Summer Programs
Family Camp
Strengthening Families
Come spend quality time with your family in a relaxed atmosphere in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. We welcome all types of families - couples, singles, one parent or two, step families, infants to adolescents, to grandparents - everyone is welcome! Enjoy life in Christian community, surrounded by new and old friends and family as you play, pray, worship, and grow together in faith.
What’s Family Camp Like?
Enjoy an all-inclusive family vacation rooted in your values! In the mornings, adults spend time together in conversation and learning, guided by a weekly resource leader, while youth enjoy activities with our well-trained counselors and artist-in-residence. Afternoons are open for families to spend time together participating in on-site camp activities such as horseback riding, canoeing, hiking or exploring off-site attractions in the Black Hills such as Custer National Park, Mount Rushmore, caving, Sylvan Lake, hiking, biking, and golfing. Each night draws to a close with worship around the campfire. As for the food…the delicious home-cooked meals speak for themselves. Even the kids qill love the food!

Peer Ministry
“It’s not a job. It is an attitude.” Peer ministers develop effective communication skills that allow them to reach out and help those around them. Peer ministers learn ways to become welcoming and accepting, aware of the hurts and needs of others, and how to be caring listeners. Peer Ministry at Outlaw will include time to explore the uniqueness of the Black Hills. Options include: hiking Harney Peak, biking the MickelsonTrail, canoeing, and/or a servant project.
