Had the best time ever at the November Ladies' getaway weekend. The place is looking terrific and the food – yummy!

What memories RRR holds for me! Anyone would be blessed by spending a weekend in such an enchanted place. It is so far removed from the city that many of us have to learn to relax and breathe at the slow pace of such a natural environment! How refreshing!

Rocky River Ranch is a lovely rustic haven in Wimberley, Texas – a little bit of Heaven in the Texas Hill Country. There’s lots to do: read a book, talk, play board games, play ping pong, go on a trail ride, go down to the Blanco River to canoe, swim, sunbathe, or just put your toes in the clear water, go to Market Days, shop in the Town Square, sleep, eat, make new friends, get a massage, facial, or manicure – etc., etc., etc. Remember your bedroll and linens and your appetite!

What I learned from my Great Escape: You can escape to the simplest of surroundings and they can turn out to be the most luxurious in the world; that trees and rocks and wet leaves are there not only for the boys to romp about in; that the river, with its aura of peace and tranquility, can flood your mind with long forgotten, submerged, girlhood memories; that raindrops and the chill of the fall air cleanses your spirit down to the soul without you ever knowing; that spending time talking to a friend on a porch swing is better than talking on the internet; that something as simple as card games with plastic spoons can produce tremendous belly laughter; that, as always, music brings life to any party and it diminishes one’s inhibitions about dancing alone; that singing old camp songs in the dark still has a calming effect and helps you to fall asleep.

My friends and I loved our Great Escape! We enjoyed the great shopping, the beautiful surroundings, the massages and even had our own little campfire one evening, where we reverted to children again, singing songs and doing our old high school cheers. Every woman needs a “great escape!”

There’s nothing better than a Great Escape at RRR! If you were a camper as a kid you can relive your youth complete with s’mores. There are always new and interesting women to meet from a professor to a novelist. This is not a bed and breakfast! Come prepared for a camp experience. Leave your troubles behind and bring your bug spray!

My daughter Lucy and I have been participating in Mother-Daughter weekends for three years. The counselors and staff make this a wonderful experience every year -- campfires, outdoor movie night, silly songs and games, talent shows, arts and crafts, cooking, horseback riding, delicious home-cooked meals, and wading, kayaking, and fishing in the Blanco River. We look forward to our time away together so much and can’t wait for next year!

We completely loved Mother/Daughter weekend. For my second-grader, it was a great way to get a sneak peek into the fun of summer camp. She adored every second of singing, archery, horseback riding, swimming in the creek, and playing WAHHHH! on the sport court. For me, it was a lovely way to travel back in time to my own camp days, singing songs and doing stuff I’d forgotten I loved so much. The entire weekend was excellently planned. All of the counselors were extremely helpful, enthusiastic and genuinely engaged with the moms and kids. I even climbed that crazy wall! We can’t wait to come back.

My seven-year-old and I attended the fall 2013 mother-daughter weekend. We had been eyeing RRR for summer camp for our daughter. However, she has never been to an overnight camp so we thought this would be a great opportunity to check things out before signing her up. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. The grounds of the camp are amazing! The staff is very committed to the camp. They were so excited to tell us about their days as campers there. The weekend activities gave the two of us a lot of time to work together, talk, and play. My daughter loved the weekend so much, she cried when we had to leave. We have already signed our her up for summer camp and she cannot wait! We feel very comfortable and excited for her to be able to attend. I imagine this will turn into an every summer event for her!

The RRR Mother/Daughter experience is one of a kind! We have attended the last three years in a row since both of my daughters have been old enough and plan to continue just as long as they want to! The staff and counselors are wonderful and are always so welcoming and helpful. I truly cherish the time with my daughters that weekend as well as the time with my friends and their daughters ~ it is amazing to see our girls building relationships with each other that will last a life time! The cabins are always clean and well kept, the food is always fresh and delicious and the activities are changed up every year so there is always something new to experience. If you are looking for an amazing bonding experience with your daughter(s) this is the place to be…simply wonderful!
