Dear CranHill Campground and Cottage Friends,
It is with great sadness that I am writing this email to you today. If you’re like me you’ve been looking forward to coming to CranHill for your stay. Well, that stay is, unfortunately, going to have to wait just a little while longer.
Yesterday, Governor Whitmer announced that the Stay-At-Home order will remain in effect until May 28th. With this order, she has essentially required CranHill’s Campgrounds and Cottage Rentals to remain closed until at least May 28th. As difficult as this is for us, we rejoice because as a Christian organization we get to represent Christ in honoring the authorities over us (Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2:13).
Believe me, we really want to be open, and we really want you here. We not only desperately need the revenue, but we simply love the ministry that happens while you’re here. You’re not just like family… you are family.
You are entitled to a full refund without cancellation fees because we are required to cancel your reservation.
You may choose one of the following options:
-
DONATE your received payments to CranHill to help support the current financial needs of this ministry. In this case, you will receive a tax receipt for 100% of the funds donated and you can then make another reservation for a future date.
-
REBOOK your received payment for a future date during the 2020 camping season. In this case, we would love to help you find another date this summer.
-
REFUND Your received payment will be 100% refunded to you. Refunds will be processed within two weeks of your reservation date and credited back to your credit card or sent by check.
If you choose Option 1 or Option 3, we will process your request and you will receive the proper communication showing your donation or your refund.
If you choose Option #2, we will give you a phone call to assist your rebooking. Or feel free to give us a call during normal office hours at your convenience.
We are still planning to open the campground and cottages this season just as soon as we can. Please stay tuned to our website and social media for further updates. You might also want to catch a new weekly update video called “The Porch.”
Thank you so much for your partnership and prayers during these unique days. We continue to pray for all our guests, that the Lord would make these days a great time of family connectedness to each other and to the Lord regardless of all that is happening around us.
Blessings, and we look forward to seeing you soon here at the Ranch.
In Christ,

Support Life Transforming Summer Camps!
Tuesday Aug 11, 2026
The Meadows @ GVSU
Invitational Scramble
Today more than ever, the Summer Camp experience is vital opportunity for kids to disconnect from their normal schedules, hear that God loves them and wants to be in a relationship with them, and then give them the space and time to make a decision for Christ.
Your participation in CranHill's Annual Golf Outing Fundraiser plays a key role in making sure our Summer Youth Camps continue to be life changing experience for 1,200+ campers, while keeping it affordable for their families.
We are looking forward to another great outing at The Meadows Golf Club at GVSU in Allendale. Lunch, Dinner, Golf, Door Prizes, Golf Shirt, and Golf Balls are all included in the $210 per person price. If you would like to make a donation on top of your golfer fee, we ask that you do so in a separate donation transaction (Under "Golf Fundraiser"), or make that donation at the event.
You can register as an individual or a foursome ($840 per 4 person team). During the registration process, there will be a section where you can enter other people on your team. If you are paying for those other players, please make sure to account for them when you pay your fees. If you are not paying for them, share the registration link with them, so they can get signed up like you did! Then send an email to scott@cranhillranch.com to let us know who should be put on your team.
REGISTRATION CLOSES AUG. 4TH, 2026!
