Best Utah Christian Camps Summer 2024-25 Directory

CAMP FACILITIES: Our facilities include a three-story log lodge, modern bunkhouses, log bedroom cabins, lake nearby for swimming, shooting range, and an indoor arena.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The Three Seven’s Ranch is a working ranch and Christian camp designed to help young people develop a good work ethic and strong character, to provide quality horsemanship instruction for both kids and adults, and to offer programs to strengthen the family. The theme "using the outside of a horse to develop the inside of a man" describes much of the ranch program.

Horsemanship Camp Director-Rick Benson: Rick’s varied experiences over the past fifty years make him well-qualified to serve as horsemanship director. For four years, he taught advanced horsemanship, served as the stallion manager, and acted as assistant to the veterinarian teacher at a vocational college. In addition, he taught adult horsemanship at another college for a year and for two years instructed at one-day clinics for the sheriff's department search and rescue workers. For many years, he has been breaking and training horses for individual trainers, at roundpen demonstrations, and for camp programs. At a Christian camp in California and then again at the 777 Ranch in Utah, he has developed a leveled horsemanship program, ranging from beginning to advanced students. Throughout the years, Rick’s primary desire has been the motto of the 777 Ranch—”using the outside of a horse to develop the inside of a man.”

A certificate is given after a rider has passed each level. One-on-one, as well as group, instruction is provided by qualified instructors. Campers are paired with a Three Seven's Ranch horse that is appropriate for their riding skill level. At the completion of the program, graduates are awarded with a silver buckle. The campers will also take part in other activities such as marksmanship, swimming, kayaking, chapel times, crafts, and games. Some spaces for the summer of 2019 are still available.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: The YMCA realizes that families have differing abilities to pay and has introduced a voluntary tiered pricing program to enable all families the opportunity for a quality camp experience for their children. This program is voluntary, requires no paperwork, and in no way influences the experience your child receives. Simply choose the rate that is appropriate for your family.

TIER A is based on the full cost of a child participating in camp programs. This rate reflects the actual cost of sending a camper to camp.

TIER B is a partially subsidized rate that will help families that cannot afford the full cost of the camp program.

FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): Try It Out Camp-Out is held June 8-9, 4 pm-8 am followed by our public Annual Open House. This is the perfect opportunity for first-time campers who could benefit from a practice night at camp with their families. Bring your own tent and pitch in the field or claim a cabin! (Cabins sleep 12). Dinner and breakfast are included. Go online for more information.
