Hello LoneHollow Ranch Families and Friends,
It’s hard to believe camp season is just around the corner. We are grateful for the privilege of serving your family and can’t wait for your kids to arrive for an incredible week!
As we make final preparations to start welcoming guests, I wanted to take a moment to share some information about our approach to safety. While this topic has been in the news recently in light of new state legislation, LoneHollow Ranch has always been dedicated to the safety and well-being of our guests, including our licensure by the state. In addition, LoneHollow has submitted its application for renewal with the Texas Department of State Health Services and we are awaiting the review process.
In response to the new legislation, we initiated an internal task force to ensure we not only meet but exceed the updated regulations. Here are a few high-level ways we’ve refined our safety protocols for this summer:
• Dedicated Leadership and Plans: We have designated a Camp Emergency Preparedness Coordinator and updated our Emergency Action Plan to meet all new state requirements.
• Upgraded Alert Systems: We installed a new camp-wide emergency warning
system that does not rely on an internet connection, and we have illuminated all evacuation routes.
• Flood Safety Confirmation: We have formally confirmed that zero LoneHollow Ranch cabins are located within a FEMA 100-year floodplain.
• Comprehensive Training: We continue to train every staff member and volunteer on emergency protocols, and we conduct mandatory safety orientations within 48 hours of arrival.
Young Life has been welcoming kids at different camps for the last 80 years, and we don’t take this privilege lightly. We are excited for what this summer has in store!

See you at camp!
