Candlelight Ranch is a 100+ acre nature paradise, founded by the Barr Family of Austin, Texas, to serve as the setting for an outdoor camp experience for families and special needs kids. Candlelight Ranch was created as a way to bring healing, balance, and peace of mind to kids whose full expression is limited by physical or financial restraints.

Candlelight Ranch is located on the scenic North Shore of Lake Travis in the Texas Hill Country. In addition to acres of rolling hills and easy lake access, the property offers thickly wooded canyons carved by spring-fed creeks and waterfalls, imbuing visitors with a sense of peace and tranquility.
