Cornerstone Ranch is a non-profit Christian organization focused on helping young people. It is located at 4300 Powder Mill Road in Gardendale. The camp spans 1,200 acres and includes an 80-acre lake and five smaller ponds.
The goals of the ranch are to develop self-esteem, character, and faith in the lives of young men and women. This is accomplished through a combination of faith-based sessions and recreational activities.
History
The land where the ranch is located had been abandoned since the mid-1970s, when DuPont Corporation closed their powder plant. Cornerstone purchased the site on Dec. 31, 2008 in what was considered a sale and a donation.
The camp was founded by Jake Chemell, Josh Nation, Jimmy Nation and Rusty Rouse. Rouse also serves as executive director.
