Who We Are

Just east of Lubbock, beyond the Caprock, lies Camp Rio Blanco (CRB)—a hidden West Texas oasis shaped by decades of outdoor adventure and shared experience. For 65 years, CRB welcomed girls ages 5 to 18 to a place where nature was the classroom and every moment offered a chance to grow. Through overnight camping, outdoor exploration, and hands-on learning, campers formed lasting friendships, discovered new skills, and developed confidence and leadership that stayed with them long after they left.

In 2018, volunteers came together to establish Camp Rio Blanco Circle of Friends, Inc. (CRBCOF) as a 501(c)(3) with the purpose of providing resources to preserve and improve Camp Rio Blanco for outdoor experiences so that this camp will continue to have an impact on future generations. 

​

On October 1, 2025, CRBCOF was gifted ownership of Camp Rio Blanco and has a vision of preserving the legacy while welcoming families, youth organizations, schools, churches, and community groups from across West Texas and the South Plains in addition to Girl Scouts.
