Summer 2025

Before we jump in, we want to pause and thank you. Thank you for showing up in the lives of hurting teenagers with the HOPE of the Gospel. Thank you for sharing the LOVE of Jesus with them as you build friendships. Thank you for continuing to pursue them in the middle of chaos. The work is certainly not easy, but it is so important. We pray that your time at LoneHollow Ranch will be a breath of fresh air and will provide your HS, MS, CPRNM and YLVS friends the opportunity to experience adventure, laugh, and hear about the greatest Story ever told.

There is a lot of information. However, we have worked hard to ensure that unnecessary information or to-dos have been left out. Hopefully, everything included here will keep you informed and make it as easy as possible to get to LoneHollow Ranch this year.

If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to reach out.
