About us
Sky Ranch is one of North America’s leading Christian camping organizations, with locations in Texas, Colorado, and Oklahoma, offering programs year round. Sky Ranch exists to provide people with a positive, recreational, fun, and memorable experience, while being exposed to the truths of the Word of God. The Primary Mission of Sky Ranch is to evangelize and disciple young people ages 5 through 18 by operating a quality and excellent Christian summer camp that is highly utilized and conducted in a manner consistent with Christian principles, the Sky Ranch Doctrinal Statement, and operated with strong business practices. The Secondary Mission of Sky Ranch is to the greatest extent possible, utilize our facility and staff in assisting the Christian community in its ministry of evangelizing and discipling young people and their families and, in their absence, serve other groups whose purposes and practices do not conflict with Sky Ranches’ policies, doctrines, or sound business practices through the our Retreats, School Programs, SkyMoms Ministry, Wilderness, and Parent Child Weekends.

The Power of Rest & Renewal in a Busy World Why Retreats Matter for Ministry Leaders Ministry leaders spend so much time pouring into others—counseling, teaching, and shepherding their communities. But when was the last time you took time to be poured into? At Sky Ranch, we believe that spiritual renewal isn’t a luxury, it’s essential for effective ministry. A retreat isn’t just time away; it’s an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with God, and refocus your heart. Surrounded by nature and free from distractions, you can step away from the busyness of daily life and experience true restoration. With locations in Colorado, Oklahoma, and East Texas, Sky Ranch provides a peaceful setting for ministry leaders to breathe, reflect, and recharge: whether it’s quiet moments in prayer, meaningful conversations with fellow leaders, or simply soaking in the stillness of creation. At Sky Ranch, we are committed to excellence in every detail of your retreat experience, offering first-rate camp facilities and intentional staff ready to serve you. Let us help create your BEST EVENT YET—one that fills your cup and renews your spirit for the work ahead. If you or your ministry team could use a time of rest and reflection, Sky Ranch is here for you. 📅 Book your retreat TODAY: https://lnkd.in/etXchRv
