252 Crew is for the teen who wants to give back to camp while building their resume. Campers enjoy the classic camp activities they love and spend time volunteering alongside Ranch staff to learn job skills that matter at camp and beyond.
Leave with 12 hours of ODDS community service and the kind of confidence that comes from real responsibility. Spots are limited. Admission is by application.

Activities
Leadership and job skills development
Work alongside Ranch staff to learn the ropes of food preparation, meal service, housekeeping, maintenance, and other jobs around the Ranch.
Swimming
Cool off after a full day of camp fun. Campers enjoy recreational swim time to splash, play and relax with friends.
Our 30′ × 60′ outdoor pool is supervised by qualified lifeguards and secured with above-minimum safety protocols like swim tests, extra supervision, and pool safe games.
Climbing
How far can you make it up the 32-foot outdoor climbing wall? Challenge yourself on our 3 climbing routes or cargo net to find out! Campers choose how far they’d like to push themselves.
Staff support campers as they get out of their comfort zones without creating pressure. Harness and double-checked safety systems keep kids secure while climbing. We re-certify our structures, equipment, and staff annually.
Archery
Learn the basics of safely using a bow and arrow, then try out your new skills with target practice!
Trained archery instructors teach archery in our controlled range setting. All equipment is provided.
Horseback riding (one session)
Visit the barn for three recreational horseback riding sessions during the week. Learn basic horse safety and the riding skills to get started, including how to start, stop and steer a horse. Sessions focus on giving campers a fun, hands-on riding experience, rather than progressing through our instructional riding levels.
Learn more about horseback riding levels and requirements.
Camp-wide games
Work together, communicate, cooperate, and get creative to complete group games and challenges known for testing problem-solving skills.
Theme meals
Add a little, or a lot, of extra fun to supper! We turn up the music, deck out the dining hall, and have no shortage of camp silliness.
Lookout for theme meal information in your email inbox before camp. Costumes are optional but highly encouraged.
Campfire
Campfire is a favourite camp tradition and a time for everyone to come together for songs, games, stories, and lots of energy. Campfires also include an age-appropriate, engaging, Christian message that helps campers learn more about God.
Devotions
Campers participate in daily, age-appropriate devotions where they learn about God, Jesus, and how faith connects to everyday life. Devotions include Bible stories, discussion, and opportunities to ask questions.
Campers come from many different faith backgrounds, and our goal is to create a welcoming environment where they can listen, participate, and explore faith without pressure.
All camps include everything from fun from games to theme meals. Campers are also invited to grow in Christian faith at daily devotions and connect with new friends at evening “primetime” cabin sharing.
