Young Life's Washington Family Ranch is one of 25 Young Life camps in the United States and Canada.Washington Family Ranch opened in June of 1999 and has since served tens of thousands of campers, leaders, volunteers, and guests.
Washington Family Ranch, in Antelope, OR, is unique among Young Life properties in that it contains two complete one of a kind camps; Canyon, the "original" camp, and Creekside, which welcomed its first campers in the summer of 2011. With the expansion, Washington Family Ranch offers the best week ever to as many as 1,044 middle and high school campers each week during the summer.
Both venues share a common purpose: creating an environment where Young Life staff bring Christ to life by creatively presenting the complete Gospel of Jesus Christ. Through a progression of carefully planned messages, camp speakers communicate the Gospel with a winsome spirit and in relevant terms that are appealing to teenagers. Speaking clearly from the Scriptures, camp speakers introduce kids to the person of Christ, the nature of humanity, the work of Christ on the cross, the hope of the resurrection and the opportunity for reconciliation with God.
