Join the MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY Campaign

Holy Family Ranch sits on 150 acres of undeveloped wilderness.

St. John the Baptist identified himself as "a voice crying out in the wilderness, make straight His paths." Today, that call is more urgent than ever. Youth and families in the Heartland are searching for a place grounded in the goodness, truth, and beauty of the Catholic faith. Make Straight the Way is our campaign to answer them. We are transforming 150 acres near Scribner, Nebraska, from wilderness into a sacred space to encounter Jesus. Join us in making His paths straight!

The Vision

A Catholic Camp for youth and families built on relationships, faith, and adventure.

Holy Family Ranch will provide a place for youth and families to encounter Jesus. Where thriving ministries ignite vocations, and where transformed hearts inspire communities to turn the tide of the culture.

The Mission

Providing a place for youth and families to encounter Jesus.

Our hearts break as we see our children fall away from the faith and our grandchildren grow up without any. We grieve as fewer priests are ordained and belief in the Eucharist diminishes.

The Plan

Holy Family Ranch seeks to provide Jesus with a target-rich environment to reach souls.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, we are building on a model pioneered by other Catholic camps and outdoor programs around the country that have seen the amazing fruits that can come from experiences like those we want to offer.

Words From Archbishop George Lucas, Emeritus

"I am happy to once again offer my encouragement for your efforts. Your vision for the Holy Family Ranch is in harmony with the pastoral vision of the Archdiocese of Omaha. The activities and programs that you envision for the ranch promise to support the evangelization efforts of our parishes, as well as the encouragement for priestly and religious vocations among young people that are essential to Catholic life in our archdiocese and beyond. You remain in my prayers as you work to bring this project to fruition. God bless you."

Archbishop George Lucas, Emeritus
