Staff Testimonials

I love the community at Phantom Ranch. The relationships with the staff and campers are so rewarding! I love being able to help campers grow, to be more independent, and to walk closer with God.

– Annika

When I came back for my second summer on staff, I was greatly encouraged to see the growth of the campers since last summer. I then got to add onto what they experienced last time they were here.

– Harry

This is my favorite place on earth. The Holy Spirit is very present and the community is welcoming. I had many opportunities to talk to campers about the Gospel and share my personal stories of following Jesus.

– Sarah

I love the intimate setting for ministering to youth that camp provides. I enjoy challenging campers in a new way at the Indoor Climbing Center.

– Meredith

Phantom Ranch gave me the skills to interact well with kids in a cabin that I use all the time at college and other places I work. I loved being able to listen to a variety of camper stories and use my life stories to connect them to God’s story!

– Dan

I volunteered at Phantom Ranch Bible Camp for 5 years before I joined the staff team. I continue to have opportunities to serve during summer camp and the retreat season. Following God’s calling to work at Phantom Ranch has been the biggest blessing to me and my spiritual growth. It is an honor to glorify His kingdom at Phantom Ranch!
