The TVRC Education Foundation
The TVRC Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) created in 2001 to continue the tradition of Teton Valley Ranch Camp established in 1939 by The Wilson Family.
Securing the Legacy of TVRC
Teton Valley Ranch Camp, founded in 1939 by Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, operated for 60 years at the Kelly Ranch in Kelly, WY. During the fall of 2000, the founding family decided to close the camp and sell the ranch in Kelly. In response, camp alumni and friends formed The TVRC Education Foundation as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and moved the TVRC summer operations to Dubios, WY, ensuring the valued TVRC tradition would live on to serve the future generations of campers.

Building for the Future
The goal of the TVRC Education Foundation is to support Teton Valley Ranch Camp in the continued effort to offer the best possible experience for all campers, staff, and families. As a non-profit summer camp, the camp tuition does not cover the full cost of running our unique program and maintaining our Ranch home. We rely on generosity and support of our community, through annual giving, to bridge the camp between tuition and our operating cost.
Each year the Foundation and Programming staff and our Board of Directors work closely to assess the needs at TVRC and collaborate on the best path forward. If you are interested in supporting the efforts of TVRC or would like to learn more about our current projects, please reach out to Haley Preston, Director of Advancement, .
Our Funds at TVRC
Annual Fund
Camp Tuition supports roughly 70% of our annual operating cost. Thus, we rely on the support of our Annual Fund and Endowment to close the funding gap in operating costs and facility projects each season. Gifts to the Annual Fund have an immediate impact on the camper experience each season.
Scholarship Endowment
Support of the Scholarship Endowment at Teton Valley Ranch Camp ensures access to the TVRC experience for a wide range of families. Each year the request for tuition support exceeds the abilities of our Scholarship fund. Gifts to the Scholarship endowment make it possible for a greater number of future campers to experience the spirit of western adventure and discover for themselves what it means to have the Strength to Lead and Faith to Follow.
General Endowment
A gift to the General Endowment is a gift to the assured future and resilience of TVRC. The General Endowment supports financial stability and facility upgrades, while allowing for growth from within the fund.
