Paradise Ranch 8175 West Juniper Beach Road, Mears, MI 49436

"A perfect place to hold a church " Man Camp" . Close to golfing , shooting range , fishing and ECT. I enjoyed my time there in Worship and Fellowship. Thanks for a great experience!"

"Paradise Ranch is the venue for annual Man Camp. It provides a great atmosphere for fun fellowship and good food. We use the cabins that provide comfortable but rustic accommodation and allow us to set up tents for as many as desire to Camp that way. Hammocks are also allowed. There is a sand volleyball area and close proximity to shooting, golf, disc golf and of course the dunes The ranch can provide meals at a very reasonable cost or the group can provide their own. It is always clean and well kept. Bathroom and shower facilities are there but separate from the individual cabins. Always a great time."

"This is the best place to come! Just attended my second women’s Ranch Retreat and hope to continue to make it an annual trip. The staff is super friendly and helpful, there are miles of trails to navigate, several arenas to ride in & opportunities to work with cattle. A little slice of heaven on earth. Also a great way to strengthen your relationship with Christ via cowboy church & and the parable of the horse."

"I just arrived home from this weekend's Parent Child Retreat. This is my second visit here, the first was at the end of August this year for the Women's Retreat. Both visits were amazing! I can not rave about this place enough! Their Women's retreat was phenomenal! Being able to relax and enjoy all of the activities without kids is just an experience everyone deserves. The Parent Child Retreat this weekend was A+ memorable, in my daughter's words! The activities were designed for team building yet also individually challenging which was awesome! The staff are all amazing! They're so kind, easy going, and patient with kids and adults! They're always smiling and they just make you feel so welcomed every visit! The food was also delicious! They had a variety of everything just about and everything was so good! One of the best experience from both of these weekends were the "bunk mates". Both weekends I/we did not have another friend/or family accompany us, Hannah the coordinator made the cabin list and both times we made friends within minutes of arriving! The pairing up on both retreats was just unforgettable! There is not a single bad experience that I can honestly say I had at both of the retreats. They both were unique and wonderful to be part of. We were sad to leave but are looking forward to future retreats and I am looking into the kid's camp program! I highly recommend Grace Community Adventures at Paradise Ranch to anyone of any age!! You will not regret it!"

"I would 100% recommend Paradise Ranch for any family interested in horseback riding. My friend and I took our 6 girls (ages 7-14) there the week of June 22 for a riding lesson and trail ride. The counselors, Sarah, Lizzy, and Emily were incredibly engaging and patient with all our girls. My 7 year old was too young for the trail ride so she enjoyed an extended riding lesson and was able to help care for the horses by taking off the saddle and brushing her horse. Tim was very easy to work with and a great communicator. All 6 of our girls had giant smiles on their faces the entire two hours even though it was cold and rainy. (temps in the 50s). This goes to show what a great experience they all experienced!!!"
