Nature Conservancy Retreat

A few weeks ago, Balcones Springs welcomed the Nature Conservancy to our property for a winter executive retreat. Our guests fit right in on our beautiful Hill Country property, taking advantage of our scenic facilities and everything the Retreat has to offer.

Some comments left by our guests include:

"Had a fantastic executive team retreat here this month; facilities were so comfortable and organized for our tasks, and the food was AMAZING. Hospitality here is obviously a priority - we really loved it. If you're going during winter, ask for a meeting room with a fireplace!"

Thank you for the kind words! We hope to see you again soon, and we're glad we could keep you warm!

TCU Sophomore Retreat

Balcones Springs recently had the pleasure of hosting Texas Christian University's Sophomore Retreat over one of the coldest weekends this winter. Despite the frigid temperatures, our guests were able to snuggle up in cozy cabins and still enjoy all of the fun that the Retreat has to offer.

Some comments left by our guests include:

"Staff was friendly and helpful and did a great job of accommodating my special dietary needs (vegan)."

"Thank you so much for your service and care for us. Loved the camp and facilities."

"This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed in. Everything exceeded expectations."

"Awesome. I loved the food, the atmosphere, and the grounds, and the staff was really nice too!"

"Overall the stay was amazing! Great place!"

Thanks for the kind words, TCU! We hope to see you all again soon, and hopefully in much warmer conditions!

University of Texas Coordinators Retreat

In the beginning of January, the Retreat hosted the University of Texas Coordinators Retreat for a long weekend of meetings amidst our Hill Country facilities.

Some comments left by our guests include:

"The facilities were perfect for our meeting needs."

"Very tasty food. The food was wonderful."

"Excellent facilities and service, thank you. I look forward to returning."

"Very nice people! Above all the staff was pleasant, positive and helpful."

Thanks for selecting us to host your retreat! We are glad you enjoyed your stay, and we hope to see you again soon!

Boubel Family Reunion

The Retreat's most common guests tend to be brides and grooms or corporate employees of some sort, but we are also the perfect place to host a family reunion, and we especially love getting to share in these joyful events with our guests.

At the beginning of this past month, the Retreat was fortunate enough to host the Boubel family for its reunion. Our guests were able to relax and catch up with one another, be it over a delicious meal, horseback riding, canoeing, or simply taking in the beautiful Hill Country views. Thanks so much for choosing to bring your family to Balcones Springs! We hope to see you again soon.

If you are interested in hosting a family event, like a reunion or birthday party, at the retreat, please don't hesitate to contact us! Even if we tend to host larger gatherings, we would love to accommodate your specific event needs!

2015 Counselor Reunion

The Retreat at Balcones Springs rang in the new year by welcoming back its 2014 summer camp staff for the annual camp counselor reunion! Counselors and leadership staff from far and wide visited the retreat for a fun-filled three days of games, horseback riding, sports, catching up with friends, and of course, the top-notch food of Camp Balcones Springs!

It was great to see all of our summer staff and to start thinking about what God has in store for camp this coming summer. Our camp team is currently on the road, recruiting staff for the 2015 season. If you're interested in learning more about our summer camp programs, check out our camp website at Camp Balcones Springs! We have one, two, and three-week camp sessions for campers ages 6-18.
