I went to Sky Ranch in 5th grade for a field trip and fell in love with the camp! That summer (the summer going into 6th grade) my friend, Logan, and I went for a week to experience our first ever Christian camp. Logan and I loved it there, and had a great time. The next summer (the summer going into 7th grade) a friend of our's, Elizabeth decided to join our group for another fantastic week at Sky Ranch. Once again, we had an amazing time! We all loved being able to meet new friends and meet the awesome counselors.
The next year (the summer going into 8th grade) was the best year by far. Logan, Elizabeth, and I were in a cabin with a total of 12 girls and 4 counselors. Now, 12 girls in a cabin is quite a small number for a Sky Ranch cabin, so we all felt very special. We all became really, really great friends. Also, that year I became really close with one of my counselors, Corbin. She was definitely one of my favorite counselors. Corbin had became my mentor that year and I had became her Timothy. A Timothy is someone who you want to pour out all your love and knowledge of the Lord on. That year was so special because I think I finally got the real reason why camp was so awesome. Camp is awesome because everyone there LOVES God, and wants to help you build your relationship with him! Yes, all the activities are SO MUCH FUN there, but the best part about camp is that you become so much closer with our Father.
Right now, I'm in the 9th grade, and this past summer was my 4th year at Sky Ranch with Elizabeth and Logan. This past year was definitely a lot of fun. We went with 6 other girls from the cabin the previous year, and had a blast. The only thing that kind of disappointed me was that Corbin was not one of my counselors, she was a counselor for another cabin in our age group. But, long-story-short, I came back for another week by myself and I was in Corbin's cabin! Basically Corbin told me she could pull a few strings and I'd be in her cabin. So after convincing my parents, I left camp on Saturday and came back for another week on Sunday! Most amazing experience in my life. That was also the year I had fully accepted Christ in my life.skyranch.org
