Imagine taking your family on vacation to the pristine Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness of Montana. But instead of chopping wood, setting up tents and planning and preparing meals, you move into a cabin of your own for a week and gather for home-cooked meals that are provided for you with no cleanup expected afterwards. A family hike to picturesque waterfalls could prove both breathtaking and educational. Riding horses or relaxing in a heated pool might add that extra vacation touch.

About Family Camp

For kids who don’t want total isolation, what about an afternoon of paintball, a game of basketball or volleyball, or exploring a trail on a mountainside? What if you could get to know another family from somewhere else in the nation without scheduling an appointment on your calendar weeks in advance?

Think it’s a dream? It’s not. This is Clydehurst Christian Ranch — and there’s more! The meals include cookouts and a steak fry and are served by a cheerful staff. It might take longer to gather your fishing gear than to walk across the road to the rugged Boulder River. If you don’t fish, bring that book or two you’ve been meaning to read and enjoy a calm forest breeze near the soothing rippling of the river.



Morning and evening chapels provide inspiring music and worship combined with fresh and solid Bible teaching by a reputed speaker or pastor. Younger children attend their own chapel, conducted by our well-trained college staff who use singing, drama, and puppets to teach great Bible lessons.


Clydehurst strives to offer activities in which either families or individuals can participate. We offer an archery range, a rifle range with skeet shooting, and optional competition in several weeklong tournaments including volleyball, horseshoes, and ping-pong. Couples can get away for much-needed time together while our college staff provides free childcare at almost any time. In the evening after chapel head to the dining hall for a snack or, weather permitting, meet for a moonlight hayride or horseback ride.



So forget the dream and experience reality at Clydehurst. Do as little or as much as you’d like without the interruptions of chores or the phone. We want your family
to come make new friends and leave with stronger relationships and refreshed spirits.

Accommodations & Facilities

Real log cabins and buildings contribute to Clydehurst Christian Ranch’s rustic charm and include a centrally located lodge with foosball and ping-pong tables, and a cozy chapel near the river. Both have stone fireplaces. The lodge also houses our shirt and snack shop, craft room, and “The Front Porch” – our popular coffee shop.

Our modern kitchen/dining hall provides three daily meals, including sack lunches by request if needed for special hikes or family outings.

The camp laundromat provides coin-operated machines for your convenience. For trailers or motor homes, 50 amp full hookups are available.

Each cabin is equipped with a queen-sized bed and a set of single bunks (more can be added if needed). Bedding is not provided. All cabins have hot and cold running water, bathing and toilet facilities under the same roof. Many cabins have private baths, though some are duplexes and have shared baths. Additional restroom and shower facilities are located in the dining hall and in a separate shower house.

*It is our preference that there be no dogs on the camp ground.
