  We promise you......your kids will actually forget about texting on their phones this summer at the Arizona Commemorative Air Force Museum. Get out of the heat and bring them to experience a rare, multi-sensory experience like no other. At the only combat aviation museum in Phoenix, you and your family will take an edu-venture through history and learn how aircraft evolved as a heroic partner to ground and sea operations from WWI to present. At our museum we WANT you to get up close and personal with history. Our friendly docents are the keepers of nostalgic, inspirational stories and are at your service to answer any questions or lead a tour through our collection of artifacts and exhibits. Walk through our working hangar and watch aircraft mechanics bring muscular engines to life. Climb aboard our bombers and cargo planes or, better yet, book a once-in- a-lifetime flight in an authentic warbird. Choose among seven WWII aircraft, from an open biplane to the rarest bombers in the world. And don't forget to stop by our museum gift store and bring home a bomber jacket for you and your pooch. We're a non-profit organization and staffed 99.9% by dedicated volunteers who honor our mission to restore, preserve, and remember the ingenuity and sacrifices of past generations. (less) ...

  BE SOMEBODY at Reigning Grace Ranch!

     Young people need a strong sense of who they are...what they want to stand for...and what kind of life they want to have. The trouble is this kind of reflection generally falls between the cracks in standard school curricula and traditional character education. Reigning Grace Ranch is a real-life working ranch, designed to mentor youth, one-on-one, in a safe encouraging place. The heart of our Session Program is to provide a safe place for children, horses, and families to experience hope, healing, and encouragement. In each session, through a myriad of methods, there is one main purpose - to Mentor the Child. All activities are chosen at the discretion of each individual leader and child with a focused theme for the day. Areas of the Code we will be focusing on during one-on-one sessions: Attitude: Respect, Optimism, Honor, Heart, and Courage Integrity: Respect/Community, Duty, Optimism, Honor, Heart, Fairness, Courage, and Authenticity Grit: Duty, Heart, and Courage Purpose: Life Application Session activities include but are not limited to working with & riding horses, crafts, games, chores, woodworking and life skills.

  THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT at Reigning Grace Ranch!

     What is the Butterfly Effect? The Butterfly Effect is a journey of self-discovery, of finding your worth and your joy by learning to see yourself through God's eyes. This program will challenge participants to be raw, real and vulnerable in a way never experienced before. To push beyond established comfort zones and explore the things the world has taught us to cover, hide and keep secret. It is the goal of this program to help participants to realize a new understanding and love for self, for self-discovery, and for the realization of the great worth, we have already been given. We often see ourselves as ugly, "less than," caterpillar-like creatures with little value. We allow our life experiences to negatively define us. But through the Word of God, we can see ourselves as He does, not as a caterpillar, but as a butterfly, full of beauty and wonder and value. Over eight weeks, we will discuss topics such as self-worth, self-esteem and self-love, all biblically backed and biblically based. We will address topics such as shame, guilt, and fear as well as the things that make us feel unworthy, unwanted and unloved. It is the hope of this project, that through this process, participants will learn a God-centered self-perspective and want to spread this new-found self-love and self-confidence to others, creating a kind of migration of true beauty. At the end of the eight weeks, participants will understand that life will always have struggles that can create self-doubt, but they will leave the program equipped with tools to help them navigate through the lies, and reclaim their joy. They will learn to love themselves because God loved first. Activities will include journaling, arts, and crafts, activities with horses, developing relationships and much more. Please click the button to email and request your desired session and times. Once you email, Amanda Moore will email you back proper paperwork to mail to the ranch with your child's registration fee.
