Winter Camps are designed to be high quality retreats for church youth ministries. These are a perfect way to enjoy all the features of a large group retreat without losing your group's distinctiveness. Phantom Ranch provides the speaker, the music, and the planned activities.
All our Winter Camp sessions offer experiences in tobogganing, tubing, ice skating, and more - weather permitting of course! (But we have fun no matter what!)
