Camper Pick-up is on Friday at 6:00/6:30 PM at camp. Campers will have been fed dinner.

Can my camper request a roommate? How many requests can be made?

Yes, requests must be mutual and campers may not be more than one year apart in age. You may request up to two roommates. We do not guarantee roommate requests, although we try our best to put friends together. One of the real benefits of camp is meeting and making new friends from different places! Encourage your camper to get to know new people during their time at camp.

* Please contact us at [email protected] or 830-995-3388 if you would like to make a change in your camper’s cabin roommate request.

What are the cabins like?

Rustic, screened in cabins with 4-5 bunk beds. There is no air conditioning so we encourage you to bring a fan for your camper. The average size fan campers tend to bring are about 12 inches in diameter (clip on fans work too), or a 1-2 ft box fan. We also suggest bringing an extension cord for plugging fans in.

Since the cabins have shutters with screens the nights are normally cool. Campers commonly bring sheets & blankets for sleeping, but sleeping bags work as well.

The cabins do not have bathrooms. Those are located within walking distance in our Ark dorm.

How many campers/counselors are in a cabin?

Cabins and our “Ark” will house 7-10 campers. There will never be more than 8 campers with one counselor in a cabin.

His Hill Ranch Camp has a 8:1 camper to counselor ratio in the cabins (although, it’s common to have two counselors in a cabin of campers). Campers are always in the presence of a summer staff volunteer, and never alone with a counselor at any given time. Please call our office if you have more specific questions in how we accommodate this ratio.

How can I get in touch with my camper while they're in camp?

You may email your campers at [email protected]. If there is an emergency, please call the office.

What activities are available for the campers?

During registration you’ll see a list of 9 activities for your camper to choose from, in order of preference. Activities are given on a first come – first serve basis. Activity choices are not guaranteed. If campers do not select activities two weeks prior to their arrival, we will select them for the camper.

Activities include: Tower Challenge, Swimming, Canoeing, Horseback riding, Crafts, Mallow, Low Elements, Riflery, Archery.

Campers attending High School Week and Day Camp do not need to choose activity selections.

Does His Hill accommodate food allergies and/or dietary needs?

The His Hill kitchen is not a gluten free kitchen. We are unable to personally provide food to accommodate dietary needs such as lactose/gluten intolerance. We do, however, allow parents to provide pre-cooked, clearly labeled food and our Kitchen Manager will gladly reheat the food to serve your camper. We appreciate your cooperation! Please contact us with specific questions or requests.

What do I do if my camper needs to take medications during camp?

Recent broken bones, limited activity, medical conditions, allergies and the like must be discussed with camp staff prior to arrival if they will affect your camper’s ability to take part in our regular camp program. You may speak with our Camp Health Officer at check-in to discuss any specific needs or medication your camper is taking. Camper medication (prescription and non-prescription, including pain relievers (Advil, Tylenol, creams, etc.) must be in the original bottle, and given to the Camp Health Officer at Sunday registration. The Camp Health Officer administers all medication unless otherwise authorized by a practicing physician. The Camp Health Officer is on duty 24 hours a day and the Methodist Medical Emergency Center is located nearby in Boerne. Additionally, in order to best serve all of the campers that attend each week His Hill Ranch Camp cannot provide care for Type 1 Diabetes.

His Hill Ranch Camp’s infirmary provides over the counter medication to campers if needed (such as: adult & children Benadryl, ibuprofen, antihistamines, ear drops, Miralax, hydrocortisone cream, etc.). Please see our medication guideline policy for more details about sending medications.

His Hill Ranch Camp does not take children with lice. If lice or nits are found on a camper during the week, we will contact the parent to arrange for the child to be picked up from camp. This policy is for the consideration and well-being of everyone attending His Hill Ranch Camp.

How do I send mail to my camper?
