Who we are
Flying Dove Ranch, a non-denominational Christian camp and non-profit organization, will provide individuals and organizations across the region opportunities at recreation and a place to strengthen personal relationships with the Lord and each other.
Our Mission
At Flying Dove Ranch we hope to develop, evaluate and promote outdoor related programs that foster the ethical, social and intellectual development of youth. While nurturing children’s capacity to think skillfully and critically, we also strive to deepen their spirituality with emphasis on Christian values such as kindness, forgiveness, personal responsibility, as well as respect for others and the environment in which we live. We believe these qualities are essential to leading humane and productive lives in our society.
“Flying Dove Ranch has the perfect facility to foster growth and development in young leaders. It is easy to create a strong connection with nature and build leadership skills and self confidence with all that is offered at this facility.
— Natalie Aiello, 4-H Youth Development Educator
