Ranches
Both the Sky Valley and Round-Up Ranches have special facilities where campers and guests can spend time in quiet study. During all youth camp programs, a journal-listed Christian Science Practioner and Christian Science nurse are on duty to provide any special support needed. Some specific inspirational activities at the Ranches include:

"Alone with Your Thoughts": This A/U camp tradition, which grew out of founder, Cap Andrews' World War II experiences, creates the time and space for solitude in which to enjoy your surroundings, think, pray, write and refine your ability to respond to God.

Church: One of the most beautiful chapels in the world overlooks the Arkansas River valley from Round-Up Ranch. The Chapel of a Thousand Windows, dedicated to A/U's co-founder, Marianne Andrews, is an incredible place to share in the spirit of church and experience healing.

Flag Retreat and Flag Raising: Each morning and evening you'll have the time at flag raising and flag retreat to share with the camp community experiences and ideas that have brought spiritual meaning to your day.

Hymn Sings: Hymns are a blessed way to comfort yourself and express gratitude. At our hymn sings you'll have the opportunity to sing and glorify God.

Inspirational Sharing: Besides beginning every day with inspirational study, we also begin our activities with campers and counselors sharing inspirational thoughts and ideas appropriate to the event.

Metaphysical Theme: Each year we have an inspirational theme we use to guide every aspect of Adventure Unlimited's program and activities.

Morning Lesson Study: With others in your cabin each morning, you'll have the opportunity to read the weekly Bible lesson from the Bible and the Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, and let the ideas inspire, strengthen and prepare you for the day ahead.

Sunday School: You'll have Sunday School by the lake, with full classes and experienced teachers. Discussions may include how to apply the weekly lesson to your life or how to use your camp experiences to grow in your understanding of Christian Science.

Sunrise Lesson Hike: Hike up to an overlook above the camps, watch the sunrise, and read the lesson in a place that truly opens "a thousand windows to show us God."

Testimony Meetings: It's great to get together with your friends and to share the experiences you've been having that have deepened your spiritual understanding of God and increased your appreciation for yourself, others and the natural creation.

DiscoveryBound Chapters
The spiritual foundation and grooming of every Chapter and field event is what separates DiscoveryBound from most other teen activities offered in local communities. In our local activities, as well as regional and national programs, time is set aside for an inspirational focus. The spiritual elements of DiscoveryBound's field programs range from inspirational speakers to small discussion sessions on the application of Christian Science in our daily lives. They include readings prepared by teens, practitioner support available for and during the activities, time for gratitude, hymn sings, and OTMs (Operation Testimony Meeting; teens attending Wednesday night services together).

DiscoveryBound weekend programs include a metaphysical theme, which is incorporated into all aspects of the program. These extended activities also include morning lesson study time and Sunday School if the program runs on a Sunday.

Each DiscoveryBound Chapter activity fulfills our purpose of providing "…an atmosphere conducive to the (participant's) recognition of the practicality and effectiveness of Christian Science."
