Sky Ranch Celebrates 70 Years of Life-Changing Experiences, Unplugged Adventures, and Christ-Centered Growth

VAN, Texas, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In a world increasingly dominated by screens, stress, and disconnection, Sky Ranch Christian Camps stands as a powerful counterpoint—offering families the space to rediscover joy, connection, and purpose. As Sky Ranch celebrates its 70th summer, its mission remains as vital today as it was in 1955: to create encouraging, faith-filled environments where kids can unplug, build lasting relationships, and grow into who God created them to be.

With studies showing 70% of children ages 6–13 spend more than two hours per day on screens—but only 20% spend more than 20 minutes outdoors—Sky Ranch provides a rare and necessary opportunity to break the cycle. Through high-energy outdoor adventures, Christ-centered mentorship, and the age appropriate Life Map curriculum focused on development, campers experience more than just a fun week. They gain tools for emotional resilience, spiritual grounding, and real-world connection—without the constant buzz of technology.

"At Sky Ranch, we believe camp should be more than just fun—it should be transformational," said Linda Paulk, President and CEO of Sky Ranch. "Whether it's standing beneath the stars or conquering a new challenge, these moments help kids see they're part of something bigger. In a world that often feels loud and overwhelming, we offer space to slow down, build confidence, and grow in faith—all within a secure and encouraging environment."

This focus on whole-child development is a key part of Sky Ranch's legacy. With locations across Texas, Colorado, and Oklahoma, Sky Ranch has welcomed hundreds of thousands of campers over the decades.

Sky Ranch also understands what today's parents are feeling. As concerns about "The Anxious Generation" continue to grow, parents want to know their child is not just physically safe, but emotionally supported in a screen-saturated, high-pressure world. Sky Ranch meets this challenge head-on by providing mentor-minded counselors, intentional programming, and a structured environment where kids are known, nurtured, and guided. This isn't just camp. This is where your child's story changes forever.
