We’re grateful for a safe and secure camping season, and continue to think of those affected in the Texas Hill Country. LoneHollow Ranch is at elevation and secure during rain events, and safety is always a top priority. Please follow us at @lonehollowranch on Instagram and Facebook for continued updates.
Luke 15:24 'For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.
MORE KIDS, EVERY KID, FOR YEARS TO COME
We are currently on Phase II of our three phase plan, after completing Phase I—campus infrastructure and universal-access upgrades—and launching the Campership Legacy Fund. In Phase II we’re focused on capacity, accessibility, adventure, connection, and sustainability. You can follow along with our progress by clicking here.
Increase: Capacity & Accessibility
❮
At LoneHollow Ranch, we are expanding capacity and accessibility so more kids can meet Jesus. The new Club Room and Dining Hall will more than double our ability to host campers, growing from 400 to over 750 guests. Every element across camp, including the new pool and gathering spaces, will feature ADA-accessible walkways, wheelchair and stroller-friendly entrances, and accommodations for multi-lingual and hearing-impaired campers. These improvements will ensure that every kid can belong, experience the gospel, and share in the community that defines LoneHollow Ranch.
Adventure for All
❮
At LoneHollow Ranch, we are creating spaces where adventure will meet purpose. The new pool will provide a refreshing retreat from the Texas heat and a place for campers to connect and make lasting memories. The pool will also bring even more excitement with a slide, splash pad, and shaded areas designed for fun and fellowship. In the final phase, the Adventure Course will invite campers to step out with courage and grow in confidence together. These additions will make LoneHollow Ranch a destination where kids will experience the joy of adventure and the love of Christ for years to come.
Sustainability for Generations
❮
At LoneHollow Ranch, we are building for the future through intentional stewardship of our land, resources, and mission. A new wastewater facility will ensure responsible water management, and our landscape design creates spaces that invite reflection and connection while celebrating God’s creation. Our field staff and volunteers, the foundation of our ministry, will be able to enjoy new housing for gathering and resting while serving at camp. In addition, each development phase includes funding for the Campership Legacy Fund, ensuring future generations of campers can experience the gospel through Young Life.
Help us Continue the Transformation
Camp Development Principles
After construction is complete, Young Life camps are financially self-sufficient. All operational expenses, maintenance, administrative costs, and funded depreciation are paid from camp revenue generated by the camper fee. Only major capital projects require fundraising after the initial purchase or construction. We only grow as thoughtful and generous gifts allow.,
Young Life camps have a long-standing policy to first raise the funds and then to develop new projects, facilities, and amenities. This is so the camp fee that summer and school season guests pay is minimized to reflect true operating costs. This practice also allows us to develop new projects to a standard of excellence.
For information regarding the Capital Campaign to fund and further develop LoneHollow Ranch, please reach out to Darrin Murphy: dmurphy@sc.younglife.org or 806-367-2795.
