Our mission is to cultivate wholeness in people and institutions for the transformation of communities. Much of our work takes place in the Texas Hill Country on 1,900 acres with a breathtaking stretch of the Frio River Canyon. There, we run five programs—a youth camp, a family camp, an adult retreat center, an outdoor education initiative, and a camp offering free facility use to select groups. In addition, we have initiatives in San Antonio and Real County focused on serving vulnerable families and children, including capacity-building for nonprofits, mental health research, and storytelling for narrative change.Every touch-point of our brand and our story matters—e-mails, web pages, social media posts, print pieces, t-shirts, and more. I work in tandem with the Executive Director of Storytelling to develop strategies and creative solutions for all of it and I am deeply committed to telling stories that will lead people to experience a narrative depth and richness that expresses our mission.
