MAPLERIDGE Ranch is a Christ-centered summer camp tucked away on over 245 acres in upstate New York. For over 60 years, our mission has remained the same – to impact lives and lead young people to Jesus! Our focus is to create a positive learning experience while offering one of the most challenging and empowering programs available. Through outdoor activities like horseback riding, paintball, hiking, and camping, we work hard to ensure each and every camper experiences new adventures in a safe environment, builds lifelong friendships, and discovers the love of Jesus Christ.
Welcome to The Ranch
Our Vision.
- We desire that every camper:
- Experiences new adventures
- Builds life-long friendships
- Discovers the love of Christ
What We Believe.
- The verbal, plenary inspiration and authority of the Scriptures.
- The Holy Bible as the final authority on earth for all issues of doctrine and life.
- God as a Trinity of three persons and one essence.
- The Deity and Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ.
- The Personality and Deity of God’s Holy Spirit.
- The fall of man, the total depravity and subsequent guilt and universally lost condition of the human race.
- Salvation as the free gift of God by grace through faith in the substitutionary blood atonement of Jesus Christ.
- Permanency of salvation once received.
- The physical, bodily resurrection of Christ from the dead.
- The universal, invisible church composed of all believers.
- The local church composed of immersed believers organized for the edification of the saints and spreading of the Gospel.
- The local church as God’s primary instrument in accomplishing His work in this age.
MAPLERIDGE provides a nurturing and safe environment where children are able to openly express their faith and create a real and lasting relationship with Christ.
