About PKRC
Variety's Peaceable Kingdom Retreat for Children is made up of three retreat programs; Summer Camp Program, Weekend Program and Environmental Education Program. Throughout the year more than 5,000 children with chronic illnesses and special needs will visit Peaceable Kingdom located along the Lampasas River.
The Lampasas River is a place of great significance to the retreat center. Baby Charlie's Fishing camp was established in 1984 in memory of Charles Schreiner V, who battled a congenital heart defect and lost his life at eleven months old. His grandparents, Daurice and Jim Bowmer wanted a place where children and their families could escape the hospital and enjoy nature. They were brought from nearby Scott & White hospital to spend time together fishing on the Lampasas River. The fishing camp grew and is now what we know as Variety's Peaceable Kingdom Retreat for Children.
Mission
Variety of Texas impacts children with special needs and their families by providing resources and empowering experiences.
Vision
At Variety of Texas, we envision a world without isolation and stigma for children with special needs and their families.
