Sky Ranch Lutheran Camp is pleased to announce the appointment of Missie Bonser as Interim Executive Director. 

Missie joined Sky Ranch in April 2025 as Interim Youth and Outreach Program Director and helped lead us through the summer season. Prior to joining Sky Ranch, Missie served as Director of Development for a global anti-trafficking non-profit, as Program Director at Lutherock in NC, and for 28 years in youth, worship, missions and leadership ministries at Trinity Lutheran in Monument, CO. Ordained as an ELCA Deacon, Missie brings a wealth of experience and relationships that will continue to grow Sky Ranch’s mission to facilitate an encounter with Christ on the mountaintops.

Missie and her husband Howard, have called Palmer Lake, Co home for 31 years. She is splitting time working remotely from there and from the Fort Collins office. Their family and ministry roots began with serving 4 summers each at Rainbow Trail, where they've had a long and deeply involved history. Howard works as a middle school math teacher and coach in Monument.They have 3 young adult children, Ben and Noah (also educators and coaches in SoCo) and Eden (a grad student in Chicago.) Rounding out the Bonser clan are their 2 dogs-Onyx and Koda and their 21 year old cat-Chandler Bing. A few favorite things- beaches, hiking, bougie coffee, traveling the world and bingeing "Friends" or "Gilmore Girls."

"My call as a Deacon in the ELCA has always centered on walking alongside God’s people, helping them discover their gifts, and nurturing communities where all belong and are empowered to serve. I am passionate about helping people discover their missional heartbeats and connecting them to opportunities for generosity. This new role seems to be the Spirit stirring up all those elements and creating an open door to serve with this awesome year round team and Board and help write a new chapter for the Sky Ranch community."- Missie

We are excited to move into this next season of learning and growth as Sky Ranch Lutheran Camp. Additional details regarding the transition, year-round staff restructure, and search for a permanent Executive Director will be forthcoming.
