Services

Every morning and evening, deaf young people will enjoy clear, simple, Bible messages in ASL from deaf evangelists Ronnie Rice and Allen Snare. Nathan McConnell (Deaf Ministries Director for Bill Rice Ranch) and other experienced staff also teach in these services using Total Communication. Our summer staff counselors , including some who are deaf themselves, are well trained.

Activities

There are many opportunities for fun on the Bill Rice Ranch. We offer a sports tournament (basketball, volleyball, softball, and flag football) as well as other unique games. Deaf campers may also enjoy a horse ride, putt-putt, swimming, a hike, or simply talking with deaf friends from around the country at Cowboy Town.

Everyone

Bring a Bible, notebook, pen, bedding (bunk beds), towels, washcloths, swimsuit (no two-piece suits), and other personal items. Bedding, towels and washcloths may be rented at camp. You will need money for: Cowboy Cookouts and trail rides ($4.00-$12.00), snacks, souvenirs, books, CDs, etc.

Please DO NOT bring

Radios, CD/MP3/DVD players, skate-boards, bikes, or rollerblades. No smoking. No pets.

Cell Phones/Sidekicks

While campers may bring cell phones with them for use on the trip, they will be required to turn them in to their counselor for the duration of the camp week.

Dress

From its beginning the Ranch has encouraged its guests to honor the Lord in appearance. Wholesome standards displaying modesty and distinction between the sexes are intended to be a help and blessing to you.

Boys No shorts. Sweatpants or wind pants will not be appropriate for meals or services.

Girls No shorts, slacks, capris or gauchos. Skirts, dresses, and culottes/split skirts must be knee-length and of proper fullness. Skirts or dresses are required in the mornings and evenings. This would include all meals and services. Culottes of proper length and fullness should be worn only in the afternoons for sports and other activities.

Food

Each meal is served as an All-you-can-eat Buffet in an air-conditioned dinning hall. The Ranch takes pride in the quality of food served; it’s guaranteed to be the best camp food you have ever had.

Cabins

Youth groups stay together in our recently air conditioned cabins. Each room is equipped with its own restroom and showers.

Medical

Information and instructions for taking medication should be sent on registration card. Diabetics or others on special diets must bring their own foodstuffs if supplement beyond regular meal is desired.

Arrival

Plan to be on the Ranch for the first meal and first service. A good beginning is important to the success of the entire camp. Each summer camp week begins Sunday at 3 PM. The first meal is served at 6 PM; the first service is at 8 PM.

The camp week ends after the last service Friday night. Plan to leave by 8 AM Saturday morning.
