Each group visiting John Knox Ranch has its own unique goals and objectives. Together, we can plan a program that satisfies the needs of your school, achieves the goals of John Knox Ranch's Outdoor Education program, and provides a program that complements school curriculum.
Our program is set up with many goals in mind, and the unique surroundings of camp help us to achieve these goals. The Outdoor Education program provides an opportunity for students to learn more about themselves and their places in the world. Students will learn about relating to each other and being a member of a community. They will discover new things about themselves and the
natural world and how each impacts the other. Through growing awareness and appreciation, we help students to become more responsible citizens of our planet.
Our programming has been carefully aligned to meet the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). The Texas Education Code (TEC) §29.906 states, "the State Board of Education (SBOE) shall integrate positive character traits and personal skills into the essential knowledge and skills adopted for kindergarten through grade 12, as appropriate". We are American Camp Association (ACA)accredited. This assures you that camp practices have been measured up against 300 industry standards. ACA accredited camps voluntarily go through a rigorous risk-management process to provide a supervised, positive environment with controlled boundaries where children can grow.
