We are so excited about seeing you and your children here for Summer Camp! Our camp family has been working hard to make this summer a special experience for campers.
Thanks for the privilege and opportunity to serve you and your children. Feel free to contact us anytime to share your ideas and comments on how we can continue to improve our service to you. Keep on!
Chad Patterson
 The Patterson family moved to Camp Buckner in November 2004 after Chad's 13 years of serving in public education. Chad and his wife Liz, are blessed with five children, and love the opportunity to serve through the ministries of Camp Buckner. Chad is a graduate of Conroe High School, and earned his BBA at Baylor University. He received his Masters in Counseling from Sam Houston State University. "It's a joy and privilege to serve the Lord here at Camp Buckner."
Peggy Poston
 Peggy is the camp "greeter" - among other titles. Since camp opened in 1987 she has worked in all departments - food service to accounting. Peggy's husband, Don, is retired and spends lots of time hunting and fishing. They have grown children from coast to coast and lots of grandchildren.
Peggy says retirement is not in her thoughts, as she never gets tired of camp and all the people who come through each week.
Jerry Ratliff
 Known as Mr. Camp Buckner, Jerry has been on staff since 1987 and serves as director of operations. His handiwork can be seen the minute you arrive at camp, since he constructed all of our facilities.
Jerry has been married to his wife, Tami, for 24 years and has three children—Chelsea, 23; Lindsey, 20; and Hunter, 16. The Ratliff family loves trips to Mexico, or any place where there is good hunting or fishing.
Gina Rock
Gina Rock joined our staff in October 2008 to serve as our Retreat Director. She and her husband, Ian, live in Austin, TX where he serves in student ministry at a local church. They are both graduates of Texas A&M University (whoop!) and enjoy the great outdoors with their dog, Reese.
Jared Renshaw
 Jared and his family came to Camp Buckner in October, 2008 to serve as the program and activities supervisor. He graduated from Howard Payne University with a degree in Cross-Cultural Studies and a passion for service.
He and his wife, Naphtali, also a graduate of HPU, have one son, Caelum, a very talkative toddler who loves chocolate and books, and who is a constant reminder of God’s love toward them.
Rose and Charlie Hill
 Charlie has worked for Buckner since 1990 and is the food service director. Rose has worked at camp for four years as the housekeeping director. Charlie and Rose have three children and two grandchildren. They love to spend time with each other fishing.
Charlie is often confused with Santa Claus, so you might see him wearing a slightly different uniform this summer.
