Summer Staff
While at Klein Ranch , we are blessed to have excellent young leaders sharing their faith. Your child will be part of a bunkhouse group with a counselor always present. Grace-filled Christian community, friendship, and teamwork are emphasized. Counselors will lead the campers through the day from First Word in the morning, through meals, Bible study, and activities throughout the day, and close the day with an evening campfire.
Schedule & Activities
Your activities and daily schedule is going to depend on the camp session you attend. Activities in addition to horseback riding include excursions to the mini badlands, wagon rides, driving a team of horses, or worship at the Old Stone Church.
