Lee Valley Ranch is an incredible place set deep within the Black Hills of South Dakota. It is a place of immense beauty, with luscious green valleys surrounded by forests and mountains and a breathtaking view of the stars. Owned by Pastor Dick and Cynthia Borrud, Lee Valley Ranch is visited by more than 500 people each summer. Whether they come for peer ministry camps; family reunions; retreats; or to simply rest and be revitalized, all that come to Lee Valley are welcomed with enthusiasm, warmth, and generosity.
While the western world spends much of its time focused on individual gains and personal success, Lee Valley Ranch community treasures time spent in fellowship and community building activities, reveling in peace and quiet, taking time for personal solitude, cherishing and respecting nature, and praising God for his awesome creation. It is a place of rest, inspiration, and rejuvenation. |

50th Summer Camp |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our 50th summer of "camp directing" is upon us. We are thankful for the good health to be able to do this. It has been an amazing journey.
I can recall being ill one day in 50 summers at camp so it must be a healthy lifestyle. We have directed:
- Camp Vermillion in N Minnesota
- Lutheran Camp in Puerto Rico
- Camp Ne-So-Dak, Outlaw Ranch, and Atlantic Mountain and Klein Grand River camp in South Dakota
We think of the hundred of staff people, volunteers, and thousands of campers that have been part of the journey and the host of people that have helped in many various ways. Thanks.
It has been a marvelous husband/wife partnership all the way. The question of "what's next" is in God's hands and we know the next step will be a good one also. We know our many friends will be nearby. We have amazing positive support from our close family. |

Cross Country Camp |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Coach Mark Greno, from Eastern South Dakota, will invite his high school runners and perhaps offer the camp to other coaches and runners from July 25-30. This camp will certainly provide a great team building experience. The Black Hills offer unique cross country trails, such as the Michelson Trail, Centennial Trail, trails in Custer State Park, as well as a beautiful 3mi. loop trail right at Lee Valley! These hiking/ walking/ running/ biking trails are not only beautiful and scenic, but also offer a great training opportunity for cross country runners because of the high altitude setting. |

"Thanks again for a fun and relaxing week in July. We came home refreshed and refocused. Lee Valley Ranch is truly a blessing in our lives. Thank you!" ---The Bruders
"The lives you have changed and transformed with your ministry of 5-Alive and Lee Valley is immeasurable. Your love and hospitality keeps brining folks back for an experience that is indescribable. Lee Valley is and always will be a piece of God's creation that must be experienced." --- Angela Davis
"We would like to thank you for your hospitality. The beauty of Lee Valley is unchanged. The quiet tranquil world that exists there is impossible to completely describe. Also, to have been greeted by folks from Australia and Germany in the short time we were at camp is a tribute to the outreach Ministry you have participated in and lived. The weekend though short was great and we look forward to a visit next summer." --- Steve and Monica
"I have been on many interviews where the hirer asks me what leadership means to me, and it never fails that my instant response is, 'I think a leader has the ability to see what needs to be done, and the willingness to do it.' It's amazing how much Lee Valley has influenced my everyday life, still years later!" --- Amanda Bryer, Former Ranch Hand |
