Everyone is invited to join us at Silver Birch Ranch 7/30-8/4 for our first ever Harvest Family Vacation.  All ages, young and old, families, singles and seniors---this trip is for you!  The list of activities offered at SBR is endless.  Horseback riding, tubing, river rafting, hiking, a petting zoo, pontoon boat rides, the beach, basketball, volleyball and mini-golf are all included. 
Yet the real benefit is the fellowship.  Get to know other people from your church family around the campfire, on the softball field or by the climbing wall. 

Come for the adventure.  Come for the relaxation.  Come for the relationships.

FAQ's:
What does a typical day look like:
Even breakfast can be an adventure.  Sign up for a number of themed breakfasts that take place on an island, in the forest or on the pontoon boat.  Or just hit the dining hall. 

After breakfast, all the adults meet for a morning devotion.  You will get to know others through games and some mixers.  The worship team will lead a few songs, and the Pastor will share a daily devotion.  All the children will be in classes or out doing activities like horseback riding or tubing depending on their age.  

Before lunch, the adults are free to play volleyball/basketball, enjoy a quiet walk or just do whatever.  

After lunch, every activity imaginable is offered.  Sit by the beach, paddle out in a canoe, or gallop out to the trails.  Your choice.  Children are back with their parents for the rest of the day.  

After dinner, organized sporting activities are scheduled for families or individuals.  Sign up for the sand volleyball tournament, or take the little ones to the kick ball field.  

Evenings are filled with excitement.  Bonfires, hayrides and star-gazing happen throughout the week.
