Registration Process

STEP ONE

Select the session that will work with your schedule, create an online account, choose your session, select camper classes, and pay non-refundable deposit ($100/wk). If all sessions are full, please put your daughter on the waiting list for any session she is available to attend. We monitor the waiting lists very closely and will contact you right away if a spot opens up for her. There is no fee for waiting lists and you can be on multiple lists. Now you are part of the Rocky River family and can start counting down the days until your session begins!

The same information applies to Mother/Daughter and Great Escape Weekends. Waiting lists for these weekends are also monitored very closely and we will contact you right away if a spot opens up.

Please contact info@rockyriverranch.com or call 512.847.2513 with any questions.

STEP TWO

For Summer Camp sessions: pay all balances and complete all forms by April 1st. If registering after April 1st, you must pay the total fee and complete forms at the time of registration.

For Mother/Daughter and Great Escape Weekends: pay all balances and complete all forms ONE MONTH prior to your event.

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!

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 had a wonderful experience of being a counselor at RRR 1960-61 and 1966-67. Those first 2 years I knew and loved both Mama Knolk and Jane. Later, I was there with Skeet and Sandy. I have great memories of all those special people and all the fun times at camp. I'm so glad the camp is still going strong!

‒ Mary Jane McDuffie Dillard Years at camp: 1960-61, 1966-67

My years at Rocky River were some of the most wonderful times in my life. My sister (Laura) and I still spend hours talking about our fun times there. We still remember our days of swimming in the river, riding horses and water skiing. I can't wait until my little girl can experience all the joy and fun I had as a child for herself.

‒ Debbie Merian Polasek Years at camp: 1976-1987

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!

‒ Lezli Smith Giancarlo Years at camp: 1981-1989

I loved my counselors, I loved the river, and even learned how to sail on Canyon Lake. I still sing all the old camp songs that we sang every day after lunch to my little girl, who's five, every night before bed. I always end with, 'I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills ...' and then Taps.
