SWTC Camp Becomes University Camp in 1969
The article recalls Southwest Texas State University choosing the riverfront camp east of Wimberley as the University Camp in 1951 via donor Mrs. Beretta. It notes the land’s use by physical education classes and campus groups, plus debated future plans such as a summer art workshop with international instructors, Peace Corps training, and an outdoor theater, all still speculative.
