Financial aid
Finances should never stand in the way of right opportunities and spiritual growth. A camp experience should be affordable to all, including multiple sessions. We work closely with The Campership Fund to ensure camp is accessible to everyone.
Summer Youth Camp
Welcome home!
Campers at the A/U Ranches make friends with other spiritual seekers and grow closer to God, all while participating in fun, meaningful activities led by experienced staff.
What’s your major?
Campers entering 2nd-8th grade (Sky Valley Ranch) and 9th-12th grade (Round-Up Ranch) choose a major for each camp session, where they learn skills and progress in their chosen program within that major. Focus on the same major each summer or jump around to explore new activities!
During each session, campers also enjoy free choice activities like swimming, fly fishing, ropes course, rock gym, art projects, canoeing, theater, archery, board games, and more!
See camp in action!
Horsemanship Major
New riders learn the basics, and experienced riders hone their corral skills. Campers can even learn to play polocrosse and work cattle.
Mountain Major
Tackle indoor and outdoor rock climbing, conquer the ropes course, shred mountain biking trails, and peak 14,000-foot mountains.
Water Major
Opportunities to swim, canoe, and whitewater raft and kayak abound. Practice on property in lakes and the pool, and then head out to adventure on high mountain lakes and the Arkansas River.
