About
Prude Ranch Summer Camp takes place at Historic Prude Guest Ranch and includes activities such as trail rides, hiking, organized horseback riding sessions, and birding. The program also offers RV camping and hosts sports fitness camps, medicine camps, cycle-fests, and RV rallies as part of its camp and event offerings. Campers and groups use facilities such as RV campsites, hillside cabins, bunkhouses, family housing, lodges and pavilions, hiking and riding trails, courts for exercise, a cookout area for grilling, and a lodge.
Prude Ranch Summer Camp is part of Historic Prude Ranch, which has operated for over 125 years and continues to function as both a guest ranch and a working cattle ranch. Prude Ranch Summer Camp began in 1951, following the start of the guest ranch in 1921, and in the late 1990s the ranch was recognized by the Texas Historical Commission as an important historic site to protect and preserve. The leadership team includes three generations of the Prude family, along with Bill Caruth and Bruce Davis, who joined Prude Ranch in 1998 as General Manager to oversee day-to-day operations. The organization states that it combines aspects of the modern world with old west wilderness for children or the entire family and remains committed to preserving the natural beauty of the historic land. Prude Ranch hosts a wide range of groups, including the Texas Star Party, fellowship groups, public and private schools for its outdoor education program, birdwatching groups, cyclists, corporate retreats, weddings, square dancers, and RV rallies, and the Hillcrest Foundation has been involved in funding for school groups to experience the ranch.
