SUMMER CAMP

Located in the heart of the beautiful Texas hill country in Wimberley,
Rocky River Ranch has been operating as a private summer camp for girls since 1953.

We are a summer camp offering three different session lengths, a wide variety of classes and both day and overnight programs.

DAY CAMP    RESIDENT CAMP


If your daughter could design a perfect summer, it would probably include plenty of friends, new things to do every day and a place to cool off when the sun gets too hot. The perfect summer is waiting for your daughter at Rocky River — filled to the brim with new friendships, challenging activities and LOTS of fun!

The Rocky River experience, while enriching your daughter's childhood with a sense of accomplishment and independence, will also offer her a treasure of wonderful memories she will carry for a lifetime — of friends, laughter, songs, and campfires.

Our hill country setting, expert staff, and long-held traditions combine to create remarkable and memorable summers for Rocky River campers.

We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our beloved camp and look forward to seeing your daughter at Rocky River this summer!

We are accredited by the American Camp Association and, more importantly, regarded by past and present campers as The Best Place on Earth!

Rocky River Ranch experience

 

RRR is not just two months of SCREAMING prepubescent girls singing songs in the Grubstake, Free Swim at the river or raids on other cabins, it becomes a way of life that helps guide you through the rest of your life. Not unlike the Marines who are brothers for life, those of us who were campers and counselors are sisters for life and will do anything to help each other, no questions asked!

Rocky River was a HUGE part of my childhood and I cherish all of the wonderful memories I have. Sandy, Skeet, Jim, Rue, Arthur — y'all were the best extended family a kid could ever ask for. My favorite cabin, Bar K, holds fond memories as well. The stories I have would take days to repeat and the friendships I made were oh so REAL!

‒  Kathy Hotz Thompson Years at camp: 1975-1987

I love Rocky River Ranch. It was a place I could go and feel accepted for the person I was — not the person I was expected to be. When we passed under that arch, the playing field was leveled and I was free to be myself, or even to reinvent myself! If I could ride, if I could swim, if I could do crafts or even if my only talent was spitting watermelon seeds, I was accepted!

I’ve told my family that if I’m ever missing, can’t take the real world, think I need to drive away, they will find me at Rocky River Ranch. I’m now 41 years old, a mother of two and every time I turn down Flite Acres Road it is like going home and it makes me cry because I am so happy to be there. I had seven glorious summers at camp and I cherish every memory I carry with me.

This was my very first camp I ever went to and let me tell you it was the best! I only wish I had found out about it earlier so I could have spent more than just one year there. Y'all are an amazing camp and I hope you keep running for another 50 years.

‒  Claire Tilton Years at camp: 2002

Oh how I wish I could still be a young girl and go to RRR every summer! I truly miss those wonderful weeks of absolute fun and excitement. This camp holds a very special place in my heart and will always throughout my life. I cannot wait until the day that my newborn little girl will be able to drive through the gate and live the summer days that not only her mother lived, but her grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother enjoyed. I cannot wait until the day that I can tell her all about her special great-great-grandmother (we called her GG, but most knew her as Mama Knolk) that opened beautiful Rocky River Ranch and created a place for many girls to create memories from. I am truly happy to see Mama Knolk's spirit still living on. May it continue to live on the dream that she always wanted.
