Fun for all ages & interests
This A/U Ranches program is open to all Christian Scientists and their family and friends of all faiths. Whether you come with your family, come with friends, or come by yourself, each day at Family & Adult Camp is a “choose your own adventure” of activities, complete with inspiration and opportunities to share gratitude. We even offer special activities for kids ages 0-9, so they can have age-appropriate adventures while older family members are participating in more advanced activities.
Family groups stay in their own cabins suited to their needs. Or if you are coming solo or with friends, you’ll choose between a room to yourself or a shared cabin with other individual adults. Family & Adult Camp also offers three hot meals a day, as well as sack lunches for those all-day excursions.

2 Explore financial aid options
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.
