Wilderness Ranch has DEEP ROOTS through abiding in Jesus and in the mission of Young Life and decades of ministry to so many throughout the years.
As we head into this next season, we invite you to help us develop WIDE TRAILS, or broad and unencumbered opportunities, so more kids can experience this life-changing adventure!
CREATING A LESS DISTRACTED SPACE THROUGH GUIDED WILDERNESS ADVENTURES.
Wilderness Ranch is possible because of YOU!
At Wilderness Ranch, our mission is simple and powerful: To create a less distracted space for people to meet Jesus Christ and grow in their faith through a guided wilderness adventure. Every summer, lives are transformed as students and leaders step away from the noise and into God’s creation. They learn to abide in Jesus, celebrate God’s creation, and grow in courage, integrity, and emotional intelligence — all while experiencing genuine community and kingdom-minded hospitality.
Wyatt Cabin Reimagined
The Wyatt Cabin, originally the cherished vacation retreat of Will and Betty Wyatt, serves as a testament to their enduring generosity and vision for Wilderness Ranch. Nestled amidst the beauty of the 80+ acres they generously donated to Young Life in 1978, this cabin is more than a structure; it is a symbol of legacy and connection to the land.
Our goal is to honor the history of the Wyatt Cabin while reimagining it for modern functionality and adaptability. The redesign will transform the cabin into a comfortable and welcoming home for the camp manager, with the flexibility to serve as adult guest or donor accommodations during the fall season. This dual-purpose approach ensures that the cabin continues to be a vital part of Wilderness Ranch's story, accommodating its evolving needs.
The design will embrace the rustic charm and timeless character of the original structure, integrating natural materials and thoughtful craftsmanship to reflect its heritage. Modern upgrades will enhance livability, energy efficiency, and comfort, ensuring it meets contemporary standards without compromising its historical integrity.
