Ravasio, having grown up in the Mon Valley realized that there was a great need for a place for young people and children to come where their lives would be transformed by positive people and the use of horses. Our Mission is Teaching and promoting relationships and recreation between God, children and horses. Our Vision is to have a Christian Ranch Ministry that will include recreational, physical and spiritual activities for the purpose of reaching our young people by rebuilding their sense of worth, rewarding their accomplishments and returning them to their family and community as caring, responsible young people with hope and vision for their future. The word Shekinah (Sh-kī-nah) literally means "the place where God's glory dwells." Shekinah Ranch is a Christian based, non-profit camp welcoming children and youth of any faith and race. We encourage young lives to grow spiritually, mentally, socially, and physically in an exciting fun-filled, western adventure. The ranchers (campers) will be reminded regularly of God's love and His perfect plan for each of them.
