In the heart of beautiful Hill Country Texas, John Knox Ranch hosts adventure summer camps on a 300-acre nature preserve and serves as a conference and retreat center. We believe the world is a better place when you can see the stars. Out here under open sky, things are much as they have always been, and the stage is set for unbounded possibility – by seeing and realizing the best in all of us. At John Knox Ranch, we hold that time spent outdoors and away from city lights provides a unique setting in which we can recognize our truest and best selves. We’ve preserved a special place for people to gather to learn, have fun and grow. There’s a reason that since the beginning of time, so many of our best stories, inventions and friendships have begun with a gathering around the campfire. Whether you’re taking your first steps in a new direction, completing a journey, or anything in between, we hope you’ll join us in the spirit of shared discovery. While you are here, these 300 acres are yours to fill with faith, friends, family, and unforgettable experiences. John Knox Ranch is a Christian camp, conference, and retreat center. We are rooted and grounded in the history and tradition of the Presbyterian Church and the Reformed Protestant faith. To our Presbyterian understanding, precisely because this is a Christian place, absolutely everyone is fully welcome. We welcome you in the name of Jesus Christ, who welcomed all people into the grace of God. We do not want the public misuse of Christian language to delude you and thus exclude you from the Christian love we intend. We do not assume or presume you to be Christian. Our hope is that we would be Christians toward you.

This summer marked our 3rd year of Adventure Camp! Seven campers and some incredible counselors took on a week packed with adventure; from backpacking and caving in Whirlpool Cave, to cooking meals outside, to an unforgettable kayak trip down the Guadalupe River, Adventure Camp gives campers a chance to experience a whole different side of JKR. It allows them to challenge themselves, explore the Hill Country, and make memories they won’t soon forget and this year’s crew made the most of every adventure! 🛶🌱
