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,

Meet Kevin Reed!
This Year's Retreat Speaker
Hello, I am Kevin Reed. I am 38 years old. I have been married to my wife for 18 years and have 5 children ranging in ages from 10-16. I grew up on the mission field in Africa and have had the privilege to be in full-time ministry for the past 15 years at the same church. I have a passion to see people fully grasp the beauties of a relationship with Jesus and then see the power of the Holy Spirit completely transform everything in their lives. I don’t love religion and I can’t stand legalism. I love God’s Word and consider it a privilege to be called to proclaim it to others!
Meet Matt Moore!
This Year's Retreat Worship Leader
Matt Moore is an independent rock artist, singer/songwriter and worship leader from Michigan. Launching a solo career in 2007 with only an acoustic guitar and a few original songs Matt quickly built a reputation as the must-see artist in his area. Captivating audiences with his engaging songwriting, passionate live performance, and tenacious work ethic, Matt has performed at almost 2000 events around the country in the past decade, sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in Christian music.
Matt is an artist who loves to play live and it shows. Performing as a solo artist he consistently creates a unique high-energy acoustic show, unlike most typical singer/songwriter acts.

The band has gained recognition for their tireless energy, engaging stage presence, and quality musicianship. The performances are truly something you need to experience to fully appreciate.
Matt has released two EPs since 2009 (produced by Jake Rye of Sanctus Real), a “digital only” remix album in the summer of 2013, and a national radio single in the summer of 2017. To date, he has sold over 15,000 physical CDs, and another 20,000 digital downloads. Matt has released multiple national radio singles including the #1 hit “The Coming Storm” in 2017. He is currently writing new material for an upcoming release.
