The Bill Rice Ranch was started in 1953 because the founders' daughter was deaf. The Rices' burden to give the gospel to the deaf world has propelled this ministry which includes camps in Tennessee and here in Arizona.\u00a0 Our focus is still the gospel. We will give the gospel clearly for those who have not \"heard\" it. We will also encourage the Deaf community to reach their friends and neighbors for Christ. Along the way, we will have great fun and fellowship on our beautiful campground in cool Northern Arizona. Please check \"camp information\" for more details about our conservative Christian standards including what we ask for in dress and conduct. Please also read our notes about our campground's accessibility as our campground may not be suitable for those having a harder time getting around.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_block_section\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_block_row\" id=\"moreinfo\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_7 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Camp Weeks Information<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_tabs_0 et_pb_tabs et_pb_module\"><ul class=\"et_pb_tabs_controls clearfix\"><li class=\"et_pb_tab_nav_item_0 et_pb_tab_nav_item et_pb_tab_0 et_pb_tab_active\"><a class=\"et_pb_tab_nav_item_link\" href=\"#\">Bring<\/a><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_tab_nav_item_1 et_pb_tab_nav_item et_pb_tab_1\"><a class=\"et_pb_tab_nav_item_link\" href=\"#\">Facilities<\/a><\/li><li class=\"et_pb_tab_nav_item_2 et_pb_tab_nav_item et_pb_tab_2\"><a class=\"et_pb_tab_nav_item_link\" href=\"#\">More<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"et_pb_all_tabs\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_tab_0 et_pb_tab clearfix et_pb_active_content et_pb_module et_block_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_tab_content\"><p><strong>Everyone<\/strong><br \/>Bring a Bible, notebook, pen, flashlight, bedding\/sleeping bags (bunk beds), towels, washcloths, reusable water bottle, good shoes for activities, and other personal items.
