Ceta Canyon is For Everyone

  • Church retreats
  • Leadership retreats
  • Outdoor Education
  • Youth camps
  • Family reunions
  • Corporate outings
  • Christian Camp

Since 1918, we’ve built our reputation as a premier Christian Camp & Retreat Center in the Texas Panhandle. Therefore, we’re not about to let that reputation slip, so we’ve recently invested over a million dollars in facility upgrades. We could not have done this without the generous donations of those who experienced Ceta Canyon for themselves. Thus, they have decided to make certain the experience would continue for future generations.

Open year-round, with quality Lodging, Dining, Multiple Meeting Rooms and Recreational Facilities. Come experience Ceta Canyon Camp & Retreat Center. We think you’ll agree that investing your time here, be it for a weekend, a week, or maybe even a lifetime, is one of the best investments you’ll ever make!

Ceta Stories

DEAR CAMP PARENTS, DIRECTORS, AND VOLUNTEERS,

The ministry of camping offers countless life-changing moments-friendships are formed, hearts are softened, and lives are forever transformed. I’ve personally witnessed campers come to Christ, feel a renewed sense of purpose, and even answer a call to full-time ministry. These sacred moments are the heartbeat of what we do. Yet even in the beauty of this ministry, there are times when we are met with sorrow.

Like many of you, we have been heartbroken by the tragic events that unfolded just days ago at Camp Mystic in South Texas. The unimaginable loss experienced by those families and that camp community has left us all grieving. Our hearts and prayers are with everyone affected.

As we welcome campers and volunteers this summer, I want to take a moment to reassure you of our deep and ongoing commitment to the safety of every child, youth, and adult entrusted to us.

At Ceta Canyon, we maintain a detailed and proactive emergency preparedness plan, including:
  • A weather-specific evacuation strategy
  • Ongoing coordination with Randall County and the City of Amarillo Emergency
Management teams
  • Pre-arranged transportation and designated emergency shelter sites
  • Continuous monitoring of weather alerts and conditions to ensure timely, informed decisions

Please know that your child’s safety is our top priority. Every step we take- both in ministry and logistics- is prayerfully and carefully planned.

Should you have any questions or concerns, I welcome your call on my personal cell at any time.

Thank you for trusting Ceta Canyon with your children. We have seen joyful smiles, laughter, and lives being impacted this summer-and we anticipate times full of joy, spiritual growth, and lasting memories.

In Christ,

Joe Alarcon

CEO, Ceta Canyon Camp & Retreat Center, 806-672-2019
