What People are Saying.

Tell us about your Prairie Star Ranch experience.

"A Catholic summer camp that you can rent for retreats during the school year. It’s really beautiful down there and they offer a lot of different retreat options for your parish like Confirmation or leadership. Or you can run your own and just rent a space."

"I think this is a wonderful place and my family will definitely be back to take in the beautiful scenery and fun activities."

"Absolutely a great place for a retreat. Very quiet, away from the city. Great fire pit outside, big large deck overlooking the trees and the lake. Inside meeting facilities are large and very nice. Bunk houses very clean and accommodating."

"I had an amazing weekend at the F.I.R.E retreat and am already anticipating next year's retreat."
