I had the privelege of going with CHA's 5th Grade class to New Life Ranch for Creation Nation. New Life Ranch is located east of Tulsa, OK and is really only about 15 minutes from Arkansas. As we were preparing for this trip, I was talking to my mother-in-law about it. Come to find out, New Life Ranch is where my in-laws met while they were in college - at a BSU retreat. How cool is that!?!
This is the chapel at New Life Ranch.
One of the activities the kids do is water exploration. They have nets and they wade in the water to find the little creatures that live there. At the end of their time, they evaluate how healthy the water is and also talk about the many unique creatures God has made for us to enjoy. 
They also spent time fishing and learning how to make fire. The scenery here was breathtaking!
This is one of my favorite pictures.
The kids have a devotional time each morning. They find a quiet place outside to study God' word.
While they wait for dinner, the kids really got into carpet ball. Really just a long table with pool balls. They tried to knock each others balls off the table.
One of the free time activities was rock wall climbing. They could also kayak or canoe. The outside time was limited, since we got a lot of rain while we were there. They also spent hours playing keyhole tag and dodgeball.
