Family & Adult Programs Adventure for all ages

Bring your family or join ours!

Did you know camp is for everyone? Family and adult programs at the A/U Ranches deliver the same connections, excitement, and meaningful experiences as our youth programs, challenging you to step outside your comfort zone in ways that you decide. Embrace the chance to experience joyful physical, mental, and spiritual adventures in a loving environment. Your family and friends of all faiths are welcome in our supportive Christian Science atmosphere. Connect with friends, engage with a variety of activities you choose, and experience the fun and freedom of being in the great outdoors, trying new things, and thinking deeply.

Programs offered for families and adults:

How would you like to unplug from your day-to-day schedule and shift gears? When was the last time you got away to enjoy the fresh mountain air, sit quietly by a lake, ride a horse, go whitewater rafting, or climb a 14,000-foot mountain? Maybe this will be your first time! Or you may want to focus on Christian Science study without interruption, overcome challenges and fears, experience healing, and have the unique opportunity to discuss and share thoughts with other Christian Scientists. That’s what adult and family programs at the A/U Ranches are all about!

The A/U Ranches has dozens of activities to keep you laughing, climbing, relaxing, and smiling. Your guests of all faiths are welcome in our inclusive, supportive Christian Science atmosphere. Our programs are fun, and they're also tailored to motivate, encourage, and uplift. Enjoy accommodations in comfortable, winterized log cabins, family-style meals with other participants, full use of facilities and lodges, a wide range of activities that include equipment and protective gear, and transportation on property and to neighboring towns and venues.

I get to try so many different sports

I get to try so many different sports that I wouldn’t have the courage/time to try by myself. I appreciated all the help, support, cheers, care from the staff and other campers.

Financial aid is available through The Campership Fund (TCF), an organization that supports individuals attending any Christian Science camp. To apply for funds, fill out TCF’s campership application. They can meet up to 75% of tuition costs (including program and stayover fees). If TCF awards less than what you request, the additional need is passed along to us – no need to fill out a separate A/U Ranches campership application.
