The Ranches are a special place to experience the true spirit of the holidays. Come share a traditional Christmas with us in the company of other Christian Scientists.

Enjoy a testimony meeting, hymn sings, and caroling. Express your creativity in our arts and crafts center or share your musical talents at our variety show. Search the forest for that perfect Christmas tree! Spend an evening building gingerbread houses and decorating Christmas cookies. Valerie Lodge is the perfect place to unwind after a day of activity or spend time by the fire reading a good book, visiting, studying, or taking in the views of the majestic Arkansas Valley.

The spectacular backdrop of the snow-capped Rockies is your setting to enjoy a variety of winter activities including downhill and cross-country skiing, ice skating, broom hockey, horseback riding, sledding, and snow-shoeing. We will offer daily excursions to some of Colorado's favorite ski areas including Breckenridge, Copper Mountain, Vail, Keystone, and a great area for families, Ski Cooper. You'll also have the opportunity to experience the serenity and beauty of the mountains on one of our cross-country ski trips. Christmas in the Rockies doesn't get any better than this.

Come join us this Christmas at the Ranches. We'll do the cooking, you'll do the playing. For more information call the Ranch Department toll free at 888.543.4849 for more details!
