LIGHTED
TENNIS COURT | Our tennis court is regulation size
and lighted for night-time use. It is a common area shared by
all groups using camp on the same weekend. It is located in
the heart of camp and also serves as a great outdoor meeting
place. |

GRUBSTAKE | Wait until you sit down to breakfast, lunch
or dinner to taste some of the best down-home cooking this side
of the Mississippi — Texas style! Our dining hall (The
Grubstake) and our kitchen staff (the Cookies) cannot be out-done.
Meals are prepared with love and care and are always served
in hearty portions — no one leaves hungry! |

SWIMMING
POOL | The beautiful swimming pool at Rocky River Ranch
is 30x55-feet … large enough to accommodate group activities.
Built on the bluff overlooking the Blanco River, the lovely
setting and functional design make it the perfect place for
swimming and soaking up the sun. Lifeguards can be hired for
your group with advanced notice, or you can bring your own with
a copy of their certification for the office. |

|
CLIMBING
WALL | Our Climbing Wall is 42’ tall and provides
a beautiful view of the rolling hills we are so proud of. Put
on a harness and put away your fear of heights! We operate this
as a “challenge by choice” course, allowing every
individual to set their own goal and pace for climbing. The
zip line is considered a
separate activity for all the thrill seekers out there! After
climbing to the platform above our climbing wall, the rider
zips to a landing pad across the gulley. |

HORSE STABLES
| Our Horseback Program has produced three national champions!
The horses used in our riding program have been trained just
as our show horses have — they are competent, gentle and
well-behaved horses for supervised trail rides and arena lessons.
This is an activity most suited to those who are new to riding.
We will match the horse, the ride, and the group to each rider's
ability. |
