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.

Rocky River Ranch is like my second home. It is such a comfortable, fun place to be! I am planning to be here as long as possible, and want my future daughters and granddaughters to experience this camp. Rocky River has a special place in my heart, and is a big part of my life.

‒ Molly Morgan Years at camp: 2001-2005

I honestly believe that I wouldn't be the same person if not for my many years at Rocky River, and each year that passes makes me more aware of the grace I found here and the gift of the chance to become one of the few ... a Rocky River girl. To the land of the triple R, I pledge my heart to you!

‒ Alyson Stringer Steakley Years at camp: '82-'89, 1993

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!

‒ Britany Beever Just Years at camp: 1979-1984, 1987-1988

I would definitely not be the person I am today without the experience of camp. I remember being 7 years old and so excited about my first camp experience. I don't think I slept the entire night before leaving. When I arrived at camp it was the most wonderful place I had ever seen. Rue was my first counselor and she took the time to show me around and introduced me to the other girls. I was scared at first, but it did not last long. By the end of the first night camp already felt like a second home. By the end of my first two weeks I did not want to leave. Rocky River was a part of my life forever. In the end what I took away from camp was friendship, love, respect and confidence.

‒ Debbie Merian Polasek Years at camp: 1977-1987

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.
