Welcome To
PROMISE RANCH
Where fun meets faith and lives are forever changed.
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
- Jeremiah 29:11
Nestled in the scenic mountains of central Pennsylvania, Promise Ranch is more than just a summer camp. It’s a sacred place where kids encounter adventure, connection, and the life-changing love of Jesus Christ. Whether it’s riding a horse for the first time, making new friends around a crackling fire, or hearing the truth of the Gospel in a way that finally makes sense, every moment at Promise Ranch is designed to stir the heart and point it toward purpose.
With engaging outdoor activities, meaningful mentorship, and a Christ-centered environment, Promise Ranch offers children a space to grow in confidence, character, and faith. Our dedicated team pours into each camper with joy and intention, creating unforgettable experiences grounded in grace and fueled by love.
Opening Pathways
Empowering Youth with Opportunity and Hope
Many children face financial and social obstacles that limit their access to enriching experiences. Your donation can break these barriers, opening doors to new possibilities. By funding scholarships, you help us provide underprivileged children with access to our life-changing programs, nurturing their talents and boosting their confidence.
Scholarships
We understand that families sometimes struggle to make ends meet, which is why we offer scholarships to children who would otherwise be unable to afford camp
Angel Tree
Through our partnership with the Angel Tree program, we extend a warm, welcoming hand to children of incarcerated parents, providing them with a joyous escape from their daily challenges to a community that cares
Orphan Care
Children without parental care find a nurturing and supportive environment at Promise Ranch, a place where they can thrive and just be kids
