Your Family Vacation — Without the Work

Picture arriving Sunday afternoon to Clydehurst Christian Ranch, tucked away in Montana's breathtaking Boulder River Valley. As you settle into your family's log cabin, the pace of life begins to slow. The smell of towering pines, the dull roar of rushing water, and sweeping mountain views welcome you into a place where distractions fade and what matters most comes back into focus.

From the very first evening, you'll feel it — this is more than a getaway. It's a week designed for connection with your own family and others! Throughout your stay, you will laugh, compete, and bond through camp-wide games and shared experiences that quickly become the stories you'll tell for years. Whether you're teaming up for a tournament, cheering each other on, or simply enjoying time side by side, these are the moments that stick.

Surrounded by the beauty of Montana and the wild edges of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, each day offers a custom rhythm of rest and adventure that you choose. Enjoy meaningful worship, explore the outdoors, and take advantage of intentional space to reconnect — both as a couple and as a family. With our college-aged staff providing flexible childcare throughout the week, parents can truly relax while kids dive into their own unforgettable camp experiences, growing in faith and building friendships and memories that last far beyond the summer.

By the end of the week, something has shifted. Memories have been made, laughter has been shared, and lives have been impacted in lasting ways. Families leave refreshed in spirit, encouraged by the Word, and more connected than when they arrived.

That's the Clydehurst experience.

What Makes Clydehurst Family Camp Special

Horseback Riding

Ride through the Boulder River Valley on horseback. Rides are available for all ages throughout the week, with multiple sessions offered both morning and afternoon.

Free Babysitting Nightly

Free babysitting is available every evening for young children — so couples can enjoy chapel, late-night events, or simply some quiet time together without worry.

Chapel for Every Age

Morning and evening chapels bring inspiring worship and solid Bible teaching. While adults gather in the main service, kids and teens have their own engaging programs happening at the same time.

Incredible Meals

Three meals a day served by our cheerful staff, plus special dinners throughout the week — including the beloved Friday Steak Supper. You sit down; we take care of everything else.

Rustic Log Cabins

Authentic log cabins with comfortable beds, running water, and private or shared baths. Full RV hookups are also available for families who prefer to bring their own accommodations.

Faith at the Center

Our primary goal is to strengthen your family's faith. When you leave, God will have refreshed your spirit and drawn your family closer to each other — and to Him.
