Roberts Ranch: A Hill Country Oasis for Outdoor Exploration and Education
Nestled on over 1,100 acres of pristine Hill Country terrain northwest of San Antonio near Comfort, Roberts Ranch is a haven for families, children, and nature enthusiasts. With existing youth and wildlife programs already thriving, the YMCA is actively expanding its offerings to create an even more diverse range of activities, staying true to the vision of its generous donor, Bob Roberts.
A Legacy of Learning and Connection

Today, Roberts Ranch fulfills that vision by preserving its native plants and wildlife while offering a unique outdoor laboratory for hands-on education and adventure.
