Changes Ahead at the A/U Ranches in 2026
For 2026, we’re asking, how can we offer the greatest good to the greatest number of people? It’s led to some summer schedule adjustments:
- First session of Youth Camp will remain 15 days to coincide with two sessions of Family & Adult Camp. Now, the one-week Youth Camp option will align with the first Family & Adult Camp week, so families can travel together!
- Second and third sessions of Youth Camp will each be 13 days. Ending third session earlier will allow staff and campers to participate in the full program before heading back to school. We will continue to offer a half session during third session.
- We have some exciting ideas in the works for new family and adult programs that will utilize the extra days available in August resulting from this schedule adjustment. Stay tuned!
We look forward to a new camp year based around this slight change of session lengths, while still enjoying camp-favorite activities! Every program offers opportunities to make lasting friendships, try new activities, and grow closer to God.
