Olympia, WALocal News

Capital Christian Center's Solid Rock Ranch offers a transformative summer program for youth in Thurston County, focusing on unplugging from electronics and fostering spiritual growth since 1995. The Ranch provides a unique environment where kids can engage with nature, make lasting friendships, and deepen their faith. Former attendee Eden Thurman shares her life-changing experiences, highlighting the emotional support and spiritual connection she found at the Ranch. With an electronic-free policy, the program encourages children to interact face-to-face, building essential social skills and emotional resilience. Counselors are on hand to address mental health and behavioral challenges, ensuring that all youth receive the support they need.

The Ranch also prioritizes inclusivity, welcoming kids who might not fit in at other summer programs, which enhances its community impact. This faith-based initiative integrates Christian values into every aspect of the experience, providing a safe space for personal growth. Solid Rock Ranch is not just a summer retreat; it’s a vital resource for nurturing the emotional and spiritual well-being of children in the community.
