CranHill Summer Camp: Tubing, Archery, Horses & More

Camp is a life changing experience that you cannot find anywhere else.

Camp combines a unique atmosphere away from “normal” life and gives kids from all over the opportunity to build lifelong friendships, independence, and experience God and His creation in a fresh way every single day. It truly is something that cannot be replicated anywhere else.

The pairing of exciting activities, games, relationships, and Biblical truth is the formula that makes camp a truly life-changing experience.

Find A Unique Camp Experience For Each Camper At CranHill

STAFFING

Our staff are the best around. At CranHill they are the key to our ministry. That is why we travel to the best Christian colleges throughout the Midwest, and around the world, to find our summer staff.

Each summer staff member must complete an exhaustive written application, followed by a personal interview, and criminal background checks.

Our summer staff also go through a week of intensive training in their ministry area, prior to the beginning of summer camp. Prior to arrival each staff member is also required to take a child safety training through Ministry Safe, a 5-part safety system to protect children and those who serve them.

ACTIVITIES

We value the cabin group dynamic at CranHill and so we schedule activities for cabins to enjoy together.

Activities offered vary based on age level and specialty camps, but campers will have opportunities to climb our rock wall, explore the aqua park, try their hand at target sports, ride horses, create a tie-dye t-shirt, and much more!

During the afternoon our Cabin Time allows campers to choose activities that sound interesting, and those activities change daily to offer a unique experience for each cabin and each camper.

MEALS

Hearty and nutritious meals are prepared under careful supervision of our trained food service staff to satisfy the appetites of campers.

Fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthy options are offered daily. A salad bar is offered during lunch and dinner meals. At mealtime, as well as with all other camp activities, Cabin Leaders guide campers toward healthy and appropriate choices.

Please indicate food allergies and any other special dietary needs on the Camper Health Form. The more information we know ahead of time, the better we can serve your camper. Our food service staff is well versed in food allergies and works to provide excellent alternatives for campers in need.

PHOTOS

CranHill partners with Waldo Photos to offer facial recognition photo delivery. That means you can get all your camper's photos delivered to your phone, and no more late-night photo hunting!

This is an optional service with a fee provided to you outside of CranHill's registration process. To learn more visit www.cranhillranch.com/summer-camps.

Plan on CranHill Summer Youth Camps

REGISTRATION

At CranHill we try to make registration easy and straightforward. Here is what you can expect when you decide to sign your child up for camp!

1. START by heading to www.cranhillranch.com and go to register now under the Summer Camp menu. This directs you to an Ultracamp login page. If you already have an account, no need to create a new one. If you are new to CranHill, create an account. Save your login information so you can use it for all future CranHill reservations.

2. SELECT “Make a Reservation” once you are on your account homepage, you will get to choose which camp options you want to register for. Complete all steps required to make that reservation including adding Barn Store money, and signing up for one of our add-on experiences (trail rides, lake tubing, etc.).

3. FINISH by paying the non-refundable camp deposit that reserves your spot. You can choose to pay the whole camp balance or just the deposit and pay as you go. The deposit is $50 for overnight camps and $25 for Day Camps.

4. CHECK for the Camper Health Form that will become available after you have completed a reservation. Please fill out the Health Form prior to arriving on campus. By filling it out early you will save yourself time on check-in day.

5. LOOK for confirmation emails, and communication leading up to your child’s week of camp.

We believe camp is best experienced with a friend! We will do our very best to pair your child with one specified bunk mate whenever possible. There is a bunk mate request form that can be filled out upon signing up for camp.

Here at CranHill it is our mission to transform lives into the image of Christ and help foster that life change.

We have been blessed to watch God work here in this way over the last 54 years. We take full advantage of the uniqueness of our campus to show each camper how much God truly loves them.

We have crafted our Summer Camps to provide a safe, uplifting, and authentic experience for each camper that sets foot here.
