Each day at camp is filled with times of worship, biblical teaching, and practical steps to help students experience Jesus and apply His truth.
Cabin groups foster real relationships and biblical community, providing a space for reflection, faith application, and lasting connections guided by trained leaders.
At camp, activity time is anything but ordinary—it’s an intentional space for shared experiences that challenge students, build community, and create unforgettable fun.
Rec Competitions are a camp favorite, bringing students together in high-energy team competitions that build teamwork, strategy, perseverance and lasting relationships.
Boating, swimming, horseback riding, and iced coffee create relaxed moments at camp where students bond, reflect, and receive support from leaders.
Even after the sun sets, the fun continues with glow-in-the-dark games, campfires, and surprise activities full of laughter and lasting memories.
We believe that no student should be prevented from attending Summer Camp due to financial hardship. If you need financial assistance, we are happy to partner with you. If you have need for a CAMPERSHIP (Scholarship) because of financial hardship, you can apply for that after the registration process. You will need to pay the non-refundable deposit during registration.
The $50 deposit is non-refundable. The remaining camp cost is refundable until the date registration closes (different for each camp). After that date, no refunds will be issued.
Many of our camp leaders are already involved in student or Kids Ministry. Each adult cabin leader has completed a theological questionnaire, passed a background check, and met with someone from our Student/Kids Ministry staff. Leaders coming to camp have demonstrated a clear love for students/kids and for the Lord.
Our Camp Medical Team consists of nurses on-site 24/7 to provide basic care and administer medications. Read the Health and Safety page for more info.
No. Miracle Ranch and Canyon Hills Summer Camps operate as a closed campus for the best care and safety of all students and leaders. Once camp is underway, no outside visitors are allowed on campus. Any necessary visitors must receive direct approval from the Student Outreach Pastor prior to arriving on site.
This policy helps us maintain a secure environment where campers can focus on building community, having fun, and growing in their faith —without outside distractions or safety concerns, as well as allow our adult teams to focus on their responsibilities for camper care. If you have any questions, please email the camps team at camps@chccbw.org.
To provide the very best camp experience for every student, we do not allow campers to be dropped off late or picked up early. Every moment of camp is carefully planned with purpose—whether it’s a shared meal, a cabin discussion, worship, or a game—all of it is designed to help students encounter Jesus and build life-giving relationships. Late arrivals or early departures can disrupt not only your camper’s experience but also the flow of the group they’re part of.
We understand that life happens, and there may be rare situations that require an exception. If you have a unique circumstance that you believe warrants special consideration, please reach out directly to our camp staff. We are here to partner with you and your family and want every camper to experience all that God has for them at camp!
Optional: snack bar money
Your camp will also send out a specific packing list a few weeks prior to camp for any special event items students may choose to bring as well as provide any clarification on the packing list. All campers must fit all their items in one suitcase/bag.
What NOT to bring:
One of the things that makes Canyon Hills Camps special is the chance for students to unplug from distractions and fully engage. Because of that, all Canyon Hills Camps are completely electronic device free — meaning if it connects to the internet, has a cellular connection, or can send and receive communication, it must stay home.
We believe camp is a rare opportunity for students to:
Our goal is to create a space where every student can disconnect from screens and fully engage with God, their community, and the life-changing experience of camp.
Thank you for helping us protect this environment by making sure your student leaves their devices at home.
We place a high value on friendships and biblical community at camp. Campers are grouped by grade and gender, typically with about 12 students per group, led by trained, caring cabin leaders. If your child is already part of a Life Group, we’ll do our best to keep them with their leader and group during camp.
When registering, campers can request a friend to room with, and we’ll make every effort to honor those requests while keeping groups healthy and balanced. If a camper isn’t in a Life Group, we’ll make sure they’re placed with at least one of their requested friends to help them feel connected from the start.
We use a texting service to send regular updates and photos, so you can get a glimpse into your campers’ week at camp.
If you have High School campers, you can follow the camps on the HSM social accounts on Facebook/Instagram at @canyonhillshsm.
Serving at summer camp as a cabin leader or as part of our Medical & Care or Program & Recreation teams offers a powerful opportunity to be on the front lines of life change. You’ll help create a Christ-centered environment where students encounter Jesus, build meaningful relationships, and experience a week of fun, growth, and transformation.
