DAY CAMP

Day Camp is for rising Kinder, First and Second Grade girls


 Monday -Thursday, 9:00 - 4:30; Friday 9:00 - Noon

Rocky River Ranch is located in the heart of the Texas hill country in the quaint village of Wimberley on the Blanco River. RRR has been growing independent girls since 1953 and continues that tradition with our Day Camp. Day campers will get a taste of the same camp magic as our overnight campers while experiencing special programs just for them. They will create memories that will last a life time led by our highly trained staff. Campers will be introduced to our long- held traditions, songs, classes, and games while preparing them for overnight camp. 

The format of each week will be the same and the daily schedule will not change. In addition, during Sessions 1 and 2 the girls will be doing the same crafts and theme day and during Sessions 3 and 4 the girls will be doing the same crafts and theme day. While we know each session will be filled with new friends and fun experiences, we just wanted to make sure you have all of this information in case you feel that your daughter will not enjoy the repeat activities and the same basic schedule from week to week.

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!

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!

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.

We still can't believe it has been 50 years since my mother, Mama Knolk, started RRR. We are so proud that it is still the same as she built it and still has the same spirit upon which it was founded. Our children and grandchildren have had the wonderful opportunity to attend camp and we all can still sing some of the songs when we get together. May the spirit of Mama Knolk stay with all that have attended RRR.

‒  Polly Knolk Denham

I can't believe this will be my second summer away from Rocky River. I'm so campsick. I find myself singing RRR songs all the time, and i wish I could be there now! Camp has meant so much to me. Thanks for such a wonderful experience.

‒  Sara Jane Mitcham Years at camp: 1998-2003

I think camp was very beneficial for my daughter last year. She came home with new experiences that she will never forget. It's something that she is able to share with her friends and schoolmates too. It made a huge impact on her and I hope by going again this year that she continues to grow and mature as a thoughtful young lady.
