Incoming 4th and 5th graders are invited to a 4-day overnight camp at Miracle Ranch. Kids will enjoy swimming, games, boating, worship, and chapel time while building friendships and growing in their faith.
Get ready for an incredible adventure as we dive deep into the most important question: Who is Jesus? The Bible makes it clear—Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE! Each day, we’ll explore these powerful truths, helping kids discover who Jesus is, trust in Him fully, and grow in a life-changing relationship with Him.
Darryl Jacobsen and his wife, Kelcy, have been married since 2012. They homeschool their three children and have been a licensed foster home for six years. He teaches parenting classes at Canyon Hills, equipping families with biblical wisdom. Since 2016, he has served as Director of Communication, overseeing church communications. Passionate about mentoring the next generation, he loves helping kids grow in their faith through ministry, coaching, and everyday moments at home.
Kids Camp is hosted by Miracle Ranch, located in Port Orchard, WA. Kids will experience outdoor adventure and tranquil beauty in a faith-filled environment.
We know how expensive summer camp can be. We value every student having the chance to attend, so Canyon Hills subsidizes a large portion of the cost to help make summer camp as affordable as possible so no one is unable to attend.
If a student is attending Kids Summer Camp for the very first time, we’d love to provide you with a $25 special discount. There will be a checkbox in registration where you can indicate if this is your student’s first ever Canyon Hills Summer Camp and the discount will be applied.
We believe that no student should be prevented from attending Summer Camp due to financial hardship. If you need financial assistance, we are happy to partner with you. If you have need for a CAMPERSHIP (Scholarship) because of financial hardship, you can apply for that after the registration process. You will need to pay the non-refundable deposit during registration.
The $50 deposit is non-refundable. The remaining camp cost is refundable until July 6. After July 6, no refunds will be issued.

Each day at camp is filled with times of worship, biblical teaching, and practical steps to help students experience Jesus and apply His truth.
Cabin groups foster real relationships and biblical community, providing a space for reflection, faith application, and lasting connections guided by trained leaders.
At camp, activity time is anything but ordinary—it’s an intentional space for shared experiences that challenge students, build community, and create unforgettable fun.
Boating, swimming, horseback riding, and iced coffee create relaxed moments at camp where students bond, reflect, and receive support from leaders.
We prioritize the health and safety of our campers and staff with a fully stocked Health Center and a skilled Medical Care Team, including nurses and medical personnel. While we do not have on-site doctors, we are equipped to handle illnesses and injuries with necessary supplies, AEDs, and emergency equipment. If further care is needed, we coordinate with parents and transport campers to a medical facility if required.
Many of our camp leaders are already involved in student or Kids Ministry. Each adult cabin leader has completed a theological questionnaire, passed a background check, and met with someone from our Kids Ministry staff. Leaders coming to camp have demonstrated a clear love for kids and for the Lord.
Many of our cabin leaders serve in Kids ministry and/or are parents of students. Cabin leaders for Kids Camp must be adults with assistant cabin leaders 16 and above.
Our Camp Medical Team consists of nurses on-site 24/7 to provide basic care and administer medications. Read the Health and Safety page for more info.
No. Miracle Ranch and Canyon Hills Summer Camps operate as a closed campus for the best care and safety of all students and leaders. Once camp is underway, no outside visitors are allowed on campus. Any necessary visitors must receive direct approval from the Student Outreach Pastor prior to arriving on site.
This policy helps us maintain a secure environment where campers can focus on building community, having fun, and growing in their faith —without outside distractions or safety concerns as well as allow our adult teams to focus on their responsibilities for camper care. If you have any questions, please email the camps team at camps@chccbw.org.
To provide the very best camp experience for every student, we do not allow campers to be dropped off late or picked up early. Every moment of camp is carefully planned with purpose—whether it’s a shared meal, a cabin discussion, worship, or a game—all of it is designed to help students encounter Jesus and build life-giving relationships. Late arrivals or early departures can disrupt not only your camper’s experience but also the flow of the group they’re part of.
We understand that life happens, and there may be rare situations that require an exception. If you have a unique circumstance that you believe warrants special consideration, please reach out directly to our camp staff. We are here to partner with you and your family and want every camper to experience all that God has for them at camp!
Optional: snack bar money
Your camp will also send out a specific packing list a few weeks prior to camp for any special event items students may choose to bring as well as provide any clarification on the packing list.All campers must fit all their items in one suitcase/bag.
What NOT to bring:
One of the things that makes Canyon Hills Camps special is the chance for students to unplug from distractions and fully engage. Because of that, all Canyon Hills Camps are completely electronic device free — meaning if it connects to the internet, has a cellular connection, or can send and receive communication, it must stay home.
We believe camp is a rare opportunity for students to:
Our goal is to create a space where every student can disconnect from screens and fully engage with God, their community, and the life-changing experience of camp.
Thank you for helping us protect this environment by making sure your student leaves their devices at home.
We place a high value on friendships and biblical community at camp. Campers are grouped by grade and gender, typically with about 12 students per group, led by trained, caring cabin leaders. If your child is already part of a Life Group, we’ll do our best to keep them with their leader and group during camp.
When registering, campers can request a friend to room with, and we’ll make every effort to honor those requests while keeping groups healthy and balanced. If a camper isn’t in a Life Group, we’ll make sure they’re placed with at least one of their requested friends to help them feel connected from the start.
We use a texting service to send regular updates and photos, so you can get a glimpse into your camper’s week at camp.
