IMPORTANT Policies
No Pets Allowed
No furry or feathered friends/family.
There are no pets allowed—this is a Lake Whitney Ranch rule. Certified service animals only (no emotional support animals). Documentation may be required. If you have a service animal, please contact us in advance to ensure a smooth experience.
Contact Us Directly
Lake Whitney Ranch does not handle individual arrangements. All questions must go through the Texas Tabernacles team, as we have the camp reserved.
For assistance, please contact us by emailing us texastabernacles@messiahtexas.com or calling us at 831-204-7184.
Minor Policy
Minors can only attend with a parent, legal guardian, close family, or a notarized guardian (25+). No exceptions.
Read the full policy below.
Campsite Curfew
To ensure the safety of all children and youth, nightly campsite curfews will be in place for those under 18. This doesn’t mean bedtime, but rather a staggered curfew by age, requiring children, preteens, and youth to return to their campsite for the night.
No Tobacco / Vape
Lake Whitney Ranch is tobacco-free. Any smoking, vaping, dipping, etc. must be done outside the front gate.
***There will be a smoker's area set up outside of the front gate.

I agree to conform to the safety rules and procedures. I understand the above refund policy. I agree to volunteer and be a full participant of this year's Texas Tabernacles. I understand most of the event is outdoors and that there are inherent risks with an outdoor event. I understand that there may be wild animals in the camp that are native to the area and out of the control of Messiah Texas. By registering for Texas Tabernacles, I hereby waive, release, and discharge all claims for damages for personal injury and property which may occur to me or my family because of participation in Texas Tabernacles. By registering, I release Messiah Texas of any and all liability. By registering for Texas Tabernacles, I am agreeing to the terms outlined above as a legal representative for my entire family and/or people I have registered.
