Island Lake is a Christian summer camp featuring extreme adventure activities like moto-x, ropes course, paintball, skate boarding and water sports.
"Approximately 13 years ago I was a camper at Miracle Ranch. It was a time I've never forgotten and never will. The other day, I was talking to a secretary in my office who is sending her daughter to Island Lake, and I told her the impact Miracle Ranch had on my life. That's where I held my first Bible and where I dedicated my life to Christ. Now I'm a neuroscientist for WSU and pursuing a pastoral degree"
