OUTBACK AMERICA, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!
“We have found that the number one fear of teenagers is not finding their purpose in life, and the number one fear of parents is not being able to pass their values down to their children.” JH Ranch
Outback America is a non-denominational ministry inspired to reconcile relationships. Practical answers and day-to-day strategies to deal with difficult questions are presented by encouraging, energetic speakers and motivational dramas. Outback America is about fun first. There are lots of activities during the weekend, and we’ll make sure you have a big time while you’re in “the outback.”
Testimonies from JH Ranch on Vimeo.
Outback America is about building, restoring and strengthening relationships. The weekend experience is designed to give parents and teens, husbands and wives or college students a practical strategy for daily living, focusing on their relationship with God, their family, friends, church and community. If you would like to arrange this event for your organization call us today at 951-659-2605 or info@idyllwildpines.com. We also except individual registrations.
Our heart’s desire is to “Encourage our guests to live lives that inspire the next generation to make The Faith, Their Faith!”
Hello Friends!!!
WOW! Things are changing at Idyllwild Pines Camp and you aren’t going to want to miss a minute of it! In ten short years the camp will be 100 Years old. We’re planning a lot of changes and preparing for our BIG 100th Birthday celebration.
So what will Idyllwild Pines Camp look like when we get to our 100th birthday in 2023? Only God knows for sure but here’s a snapshot: We’ll be doing powerful, biblically based year-round programming for parents, teens and college students to help them make THE faith THEIR faith. And, there will be physical changes at the camp to facilitate and enhance our programming efforts. In 2011 we finalized a three-phased, strategic master plan after listening to our guests and our staff. The master plan will transform the look of the camp and heighten the experiences of our guests.
This illustration is a vision of our future where people can walk along the Paseo or find a nice quiet area to fellowship with others. Come and learn more about being apart of our legacy! #RaisingUpRenewal
Outcome or Execution?
Have you ever noticed that under pressure something that you can do, have done, and have practiced many times, fails you? For me that was piano as a kid. No matter how hard I practiced, I often messed up at the obligatory piano recital in front of a room full of parents. We know this as the concept of choking under pressure. This, I recently learned, happens when under pressure our focus shifts from execution to outcome.
The same thing happens in our camps. We can focus so much on ministry as an outcome (running programs, directing staff, teaching Bible studies and speaking) that we can forget about the execution of ministry in our own life. If you are like me, when I read the Bible or have personal devotions I am always on the lookout for a passage that might be useful for staff meeting, speaking at fireside, a message in church, or the next board devotion. In fact, when I read this passage and the devotion that went with it, I thought this would be good to share with the FCC Executives at our next meeting, which I did. A self-fulfilling example of being outcome oriented.
As camp staff in Christian camps we should be driven to ensure that ministry is taking place at all levels of our operations, which needs to include our own time in the Word. We need to do this not just to be prepared for ministry in our camps, but because knowing God and growing in our relationship with him is his highest calling in our own life.
If you would like to submit a Words to Grow On devotional thought for Thursday Mail, write 100–200 words, include at least one Bible verse and send it to editor@ccca.org.
There is a lot to do at camp and fun activities for all ages. Call Guest Services at 951.659.2605 or Info@idyllwildpines.com for more information. Print this flyer.

Transforming Lives…
Change is temporary, transformation lasts forever!
How many retreats and seminars have we all been to where we had a mountain top experience? Lots! The problem is, over time, without the right tools and without a partnership with God and our own discipline, we begin to “leak”, meaning we then begin to strive to return to the mountain top and often quit disappointed. That’s a human doing rather than a human being. At Idyllwild Pines we believe that transformation is the work of God alone as He transforms a person’s life and becomes Master and King. Through the God-given programming we provide here at IPCC, our campers receive the tools they need to begin and maintain an intimate relationship with God. The result: the everlasting transformational fruit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control. Fruits of the Spirit of our Almighty God.
