Located six miles west of Wimberley on the banks of the Blanco River, John Knox Ranch Resident Camp offers overnight, “sleep away” camp for elementary, middle, and high school students. For one to two weeks, five to ten campers live in a cabin with one counselor. Two cabins make a family group that participates in most daily activities together: Bible study & spiritual formation, arts & crafts, swimming, nature discovery, archery, canoeing, and more! In the evening, the whole camp comes together for theme nights, large group games, hayrides, campfires, star gazing and worship. New programs offered in 2018 will include zip line into the blue hole, snorkeling, geocaching, climbing and rappelling to name a few!!
Registration is open until camps are full. When camps fill up, we do offer a waiting list. Please contact us to inquire if a camp session you are interested in is full.
Realizing that families have different abilities to pay, JKR this year has instituted a voluntary three-tier fee program. You many choose the tier that is most suitable for your family’s budget. It is really an honor system. All campers receive the same experience no matter what they pay!! For those families who cannot afford Tier 1 we have financial assistance through our scholarship program. We want to ensure that every child who wants to come to camp can come.
Tier I is our historically subsidized rate and does not reflect the true cost of operating summer camp programs.
Tier II is our partially subsidized fee for those who can pay a little more but still cannot afford the actual cost of camp.
Tier III more closely accounts for the true costs of camp, including wear and tear of facilities and grounds.
Note: Scholarships funds are available, and are awarded based on need. A scholarship application will be e-mailed to you once you have registered your camper.
Is your camper not ready to spend an entire week away from home? Do you want to get a taste of what resident camp is like? Join us for four days and three nights of fun!
