  • "I have zero hesitation to send my children back to John Knox Ranch, as I am very confident in their ability to handle my son's physical and emotional safety."

    Camper Mom
  • "They are given the freedom to run, explore, play, ask questions, and discover their own spirituality. While at camp, our children learn responsibility and scripture in a way that is inviting and fun. I know that when I'm sending my kiddos to JKR, they will come back better in one way or the other than when I dropped them off."

  • "Thank you so much for creating a space that is so needed by kids... a place of acceptance, fun, celebrating being whoever you are, challenging yourself, and discovering how much stronger we all are when we lift each other up."

  • My son had an amazing time. He was shining at pickup and continues to share all of his experiences and friendships he made. He is looking forward to next summer!"
    Camper Mom
  • "Her counselor was AMAZING at helping my daughter fit in and feel included and loved. It was very obvious that her counselor cared about the goals of camp and worked hard to help all the kids feel how special John Knox Ranch is."
    Camper Mom
  • "Our camper is shy and introverted. It was a big deal for her to be away from home for 6 days. She returned enthusiastic about her time at camp and rambled on and on about the things she did and the friends she made! It was awesome!

  • "Our camper is also a very picky eater and she said all the food at camp was delicious! Her eating was one thing I was really worried about, but now that she's home she's even more open to variety in our food!"

    Camper Mom
  • "He loved every minute of the activities. He liked the food and made new friends. Being remembered from last year made him feel good. Thank you to everyone involved for making my grandson feel special and helping him have a good, wholesome time. He's already talking about next year. You are a blessing to every child that attends."

John Knox Ranch has offered Summer Camp opportunities for children and youth ages 4–18 since 1963.
In addition to making sure we have tons of fun and make life-long memories, we structure all our activities with the following goals in mind:

That campers and staff...
  • Grow closer to God
  • Learn new skills
  • Become more confident in their leadership abilities
  • Experience Christian community
  • Gain and appreciation for the natural world
There is simply no place like camp, and we believe there is no place more magical than JKR!

We want everyone to have an opportunity to come to camp. Scholarship applications are available through the registration portal.
