Hidden Falls Ranch

For nearly 60 years, Hidden Falls Ranch has been trusted as a place where young people experience adventure, discipleship, and life-changing encounters with Christ. Generation after generation, you—our alumni and supporters—have upheld that mission with your prayers, your service, and your generosity.

Today, we are asking for your help again—because we are facing a critical and urgent need.

Texas recently passed new statewide camp safety laws designed to increase oversight, protect minors, and strengthen operational standards for youth camps. These are good and necessary steps to protect every child who steps onto camp property. However, the new requirements come with significant and immediate compliance costs for camps like ours—including mandated facility upgrades, expanded medical and emergency protocols, and increased staffing and training requirements.

We must be fully compliant by April 1, 2026, and the timeline leaves us very little room to prepare.

These investments were not anticipated in our operating budget, and the cost to comply is substantial. But one thing has never changed at Hidden Falls Ranch: when God calls us to steward lives and serve the next generation, we show up, we prepare, and we answer the call.

That is why we are participating in The Panhandle Gives campaign again this year.

Your gift during this campaign doesn’t just help—it multiplies. Every donation made to HFR through The Panhandle Gives receives a percentage match from the Amplification Fund, increasing your impact and stretching every dollar further to protect the future of camp ministry.

We urgently need you to stand with us.
We need to raise $63,000 to help us meet these new requirements and ensure Hidden Falls continues to be a safe, Christ-centered environment for all. If you or your business are interested in sponsoring one complete street/safety light and getting your name on it, the cost is $6,500. 

Would you prayerfully consider making a sacrificial gift during The Panhandle Gives to help us meet these mandatory safety standards on time?

The need is real. The timeline is short. And the mission is worth it.

Please join us as we protect the legacy of HFR and open the gates for the next generation of campers to know Christ and grow in Him.

Thank you for your love, your prayers, and your continued investment in this ministry. Hidden Falls Ranch has always been strengthened by those who believe in the life-changing power of camp—and today, we need you more than ever.
