Lifeguard Dock at Blue Hole Needed. Donate today

Happy #GivingTuesday! We are raising money to build a lifeguard dock at Blue Hole, an iconic staple at John Knox Ranch. We want to continue to share this exceptional location while keeping safety in the forefront of our minds. Currently, our lifeguards have to climb through roots from the water to get in position. While guarding they are up to their ankles in water. That is why building this lifeguard dock is crucial. Our goal for this project is to raise $4,500. Building this dock will boost our guards' effective scanning and surveillance of swimmers in Blue Hole. Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Thank you for your support!

Each year, John Knox Ranch welcomes children who need financial assistance to pay for their camp session. I want to introduce you to one of those families. Below is an excerpt from a scholarship application submitted by the camper's uncle who is also a JKR alumnus.

Sam's mother was killed in a car accident in 2022 leaving behind his 4-year-old sister, 7-year-old brother, and him. It has been an incredibly difficult time, testing all of our faith, conviction, and strength. A year later and I am in tears writing this because these kids deserve so much better. I (his uncle) spent 6 summers at JKR starting at age 8. The community and connection with God is something I have cherished all my life. 20 years later, I still sing the camp songs to my kids as lullabies! JKR is amazing and turned me into the person I am today. I hope my nephew is able to find the same thing at such a vulnerable time in his childhood.

Because of donors like you, Sam received a scholarship and had a wonderful time at camp. Transformative camp experiences are not reserved only for those who can afford it. We, at John Knox Ranch, work hard to keep camp affordable. Beyond that, the JKR Summer Camp Scholarship Fund helps ensure all kids have a place at camp.

"I am always amazed to see how my kids grow physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually at camp. Thank you for your generosity and investment in my son, and our collective future."

Camper Mom

"A million thanks to you for helping me send my children to camp. Without people like you, this never would have been possible. Camp is the highlight of my kids' year and they sob on the way home. They come home changed, more confident, happier, more open to new things, and full of stories. I cry too when I pick them up because of overwhelming gratitude to JKR and donors for loving on my kids. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Kristen

Camper Mom

"Thank you to the donors who made it possible for my grandsons to attend JKR summer camp. Both boys enjoyed their experiences so much and they benefited from their exposure to positive role models. They came home with names and phone numbers of friends to stay in touch with until next year. Their experiences at JKR play a big part in my goal to raise spiritually and emotionally healthy men."

Sandra

Camper Grandparent

"I want to thank you for the assistance we received which enabled my son to attend John Knox Ranch. As with most teens, this past school year was a challenge. Virtual learning was tough, social interactions limited, and there was definitely too much screen time. When he mentioned he wanted to go to camp, I was elated and we were determined to find a way to make it happen. The scholarship we received was a big part of making this a reality for my child."
