We will be heading to Sky Ranch in Cave Springs, Oklahoma! Located in the foothills of Northeast Oklahoma, this 1400-acre facility holds all the adventure of camping, yet all the comforts of home. At this camp, students will have the opportunity to escape from the stress of everyday life, technology, and the distractions that the busyness of life brings so that they can focus on God and grow together as a student body of Christ. The week will include Biblical teaching and small groups, creative worship, and age-appropriate, community-building games and activities. Students will stay in climate-controlled bunkhouses and enjoy the week with friends and adult leaders. With activities such as swimming in the spring-fed lake with a blob and super slide, hiking, a zipline (additional $8), team challenge/low ropes (additional $6), Frontier Zone (additional $6), prayer walk, campfires, basketball courts and more, students are sure to have a great week together growing in community and in their relationship with God in fun and dynamic ways.
