Registration is Now Open for Sky Ranch Summer Camps in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metro

We are lucky that there are hundreds of summer camps in the Dallas / Fort Worth metro. It's actually a bit overwhelming to go through the options to find the perfect set of camps for your little one.  Personally, I look to other moms for recommendations on the best camps for my son.  In today's post, I will pay their helpfulness forward by telling you about our favorite camp - Sky Ranch Launch Camp.  

My son attended Sky Ranch camps for the past two years.  These Christian Camps have been an amazing part of his childhood.  He attended Sky Ranch Wave Camp at Hawaiian Falls in Roanoke in 2015.  He then attended Sky Ranch Launch Camp in Keller in 2016.  He has many happy memories of the friendships and activities from these camps.  Let's start with an overview of Launch Camp.

Here is the overview from their website: "Sky Ranch is one of the leading North American Christian camps and our Launch Camps offer your child an extraordinary day camp experience – right in your neighborhood! It’s the perfect option for kids entering kindergarten through 5th grade who want to enjoy Sky Ranch Summer Camp, but are not quite ready to stay overnight."

As I mentioned earlier, my son loved the Sky Ranch camps that he participated in.  The counselors were very enthusiastic and caring.  They seemed to genuinely enjoy the opportunity to work with the children. My son looked up to his counselors as role models. 

They sent home a summary of the curriculum with him each day and my son and I enjoyed talking about it in our car ride home. Their enthusiasm clearly passed on to him.  My son's favorite day had the theme of Lights, Camera, Animals. He is so curious and loves animals, so this was his favorite day of the camp. He was such a happy little chatterbox after the lessons!

The Bible verses that they covered include Genesis 1:1-31, Colossians 1:16-17, and 1 Timothy 4:4. The questions to ask included:

• What are some things God created?
• What is God's favorite creation?
• How powerful is God?
• How has God creatively made you?

In addition to focusing on bible stories, they also organized many activities and games where the children bonded. Similar to most 6-year olds, my son is very energetic and appreciated the activities and games with the counselors and children in the group.   

My son is looking forward to attending Sky Ranch Launch Camp again this year.  We absolutely love their camps and look forward to more good childhood memories.

Check out all of the camps at Sky Ranch! While we personally rave about Launch Camp, they also offer many other camps that have great reputations.
