Jr High (Gr 6-8)

Junior high conferences are an incredible experience for both kids and leaders. Campers will get an opportunity to play games, ride horses, fly down the zip line, jump around at club, listen to amazing speakers, laugh at skits, and so much more! Leaders will have an opportunity to really hang out with their students. The Ranch staff takes care of all the details of the weekend including meals, skits, speakers, music, and activities. Our goal is for leaders and kids to have a fun, worry-free weekend so that they can build a deeper relationship with each other and with Christ.
