El Shaddai Ranch is a non-profit, interdenominational, Christian camp ministry committed to furthering the gospel of Christ among youth and family. Nestled in the rolling hills of Lincoln County, just 1-hour northwest of St. Louis, El Shaddai Ranch offers 80 acres of wooded splendor and wide-open ranges for your youth gatherings and church-sponsored events.
El Shaddai Ranch, named for our Almighty God, is the culmination of a common vision shared by a husband and wife team, which began more than ten years ago. Today, God is bringing their vision to fruition. Established in 1999, this youth and family ministry hopes to grow into a flourishing, full-service camp offering everything from weeklong summer camps and youth retreats to church picnics, pastoral and staff sabbaticals, and evangelical outreach events.

Currently, El Shaddai Ranch offers a wide variety of church, youth, and family activities, which include church picnics, baptisms, weekend evening bonfires, hayrides, and overnight campouts. Guests may fish in the stocked lake, or take a dip in its cool waters. Bobs Creek meanders lazily through the ranch, affording guests a view to God's grand creation, and a host of hiking possibilities.
El Shaddai Ranch is serviced by a 4500 sq. ft. pavilion, which houses men's and women's bathrooms, showers, a laundry facility, and full service kitchen. The amphitheatre area offers a great place for worship, ministry, teaching, and other evangelistic outreach opportunities.
The future of El Shaddai Ranch is shining brightly. Development plans are now underway for the construction of a lakeside bunkhouse, providing a mess hall, meeting rooms, and guest rooms for overnight accommodations. Bryan and Deborah Short, the administrators and founders of El Shaddai Ranch, would be happy to meet with your church, youth group, or organization personally to discuss the camp's ministry, and to discuss their future goals.
