Renew, refresh, refocus. Cran-Hill Ranch Executive Director Scott Barger invites visitors to fill their souls at this unique camp.

“Come experience the stars and the awesomeness of God,” Barger said. “As life gets busier, we realize how important it is to provide a restful place where we can each slow down, reconnect and spend quality time with our families and our creator.”   

The hustle-bustle of city life is in sharp contrast to Cran-Hill Ranch where people of all creeds, races, young and old, singles, families, and organizations come to sense the wonder of His creation.

Nestled within 250 acres of rolling hills and stately pine forests (Cranberry Lake in the north and Hillview Lake to its south) is Cran-Hill Ranch. Horseback riding, three miles of nature trails, youth camp, and 116 RV-camping sites are its key components.

Founded as a church camp in 1968 by Reformed Church in America, the mission of Cran-Hill Ranch is to transform lives into the image of Christ through youth camps, family camping, retreats and adventure experience.

A newly constructed, five-cabin facility developed specifically for the less rugged camper is “Saddle Ridge” located within the quiet, woody depth of Cran-Hill Ranch – A $2.5 million building complex designed for small and large groups alike. Open year-round, this retreat and meeting facility sleeps 32 people per cabin, provides 792 square feet of meeting space, sleeping quarters, indoor bathroom facilities, fireplace and covered porches, plus a centrally located outdoor pavilion.

Day Camp/Youth Camp, Ages 5-11

For eight weeks, June through August, more than 1,000 children come each year to enjoy week-long activities. Optional Cran-Hill Bus transportation is available with pick-up and drop-off locations at Crossroads Charter Academy and Eastwood Elementary for its weekly summer day camp program.

From the beach to the climbing tower, from the ropes course to the skate park, whether one comes for Day Camp or an overnight experience, Cran-Hill Ranch is chock full of creative, fun-filled experiences. An experienced staff of college students and seasoned year-round camp veterans offer a safe summer of adventurous activities.
