Ceta Canyon Camp & Retreat Center

Ceta Alumna, Amy shares - “I started coming to camp in the 80’s and did not have a faith filled home. The Tabernacle at Ceta Canyon was where my first experience with Jesus happened. I met my husband at camp, was engaged in the chapel and now my girls come to camp.”

As CEO—and as someone whose own life has been shaped by this ministry—I am humbled every day by the work God continues to do at Ceta Canyon. Your support through The Panhandle Gives directly strengthens our ability to welcome thousands of guests each year with safety, excellence, and the love of Christ. Every gift, no matter the size, helps create life-changing moments of faith, healing, and hope. Thank you for standing with us in this mission that has endured for over a century. - Joe Alarcon, CEO of Ceta Canyon

Ceta Canyon Camp and Retreat Center Mission Statement: “A Special Place Where God Is Experienced And Lives Are Changed.”  

Since 1918, the Ministry of Ceta Canyon has touched generations of lives. God has drawn people into a new relationship with Christ and/or restored and renewed their faith.  Many have had calls to Ministry and calls to the mission field and to serve others and serve their communities. We are thankful for the partnership of donors, sponsors, and foundations that allow this legacy to continue.

On an annual basis, we have an opportunity to touch the lives of over 8,000  guests throughout the Panhandle from Leadership Groups, Church Retreats, Church Youth Camps, School Groups, Universities/Colleges, Families and Reunions. Ceta Canyon offers an array of faith-based Retreat programs to meet community needs including Restore Youth Retreat for Junior High and High School Students, Young Men’s Mentor Camp, Young Women’s Mentor Camp, Mother/Daughter Retreat, Family Camp, Lil' Ceta Camps for grades 2-3. We can all celebrate new opportunities to impact lives through our Ministry and Outreach at Ceta Canyon.

Our facilities can accommodate up to 450 guests with a variety of activities for groups of all ages. Our lush, beautiful canyon is God's Oasis on 450 acres surrounded by incredible scenery, and an abundance of wildlife in a fork of the Palo Duro Canyon. Ceta Canyon is the perfect place to rest, relax, host a camp, leadership retreat or an outdoor adventure experience.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Your contribution is invaluable to support our Ministry and allows us to subsidize hundreds of camper fees, and also provides scholarships and new opportunities for campers and families. There is no greater investment than in the lives of youth and their families to see them know and follow Christ. Will you prayerfully consider a gift to the Panhandle Gives to support the Ministry of Ceta Canyon? YOUR partnership will help us continue to make an impact in our community.

Young Men’s Scholarship Recipient shares - “Young Men’s Mentor Camp helped me get where I wanted to be with my faith. Worship got me closer to God. After Young Men’s Mentor Camp, I went to summer camp and accepted Christ as my Savior.”
