Camp Mystic
A Meditation on Childhood, Suffering & Longing
There’s a camp on the Guadalupe River
It’s the camp of my dreams,
Where the whip-poor-wills blow softly
And the bright moon beams.
On the banks of the Guadalupe River
Hearts are loyal and true.
Camp Mystic I will pledge my true
And faithful love to you.“On the Banks of the Guadalupe River”

"There are magazines worth reading but few worth saving . . . Touchstone is just such a magazine."
—Alice von Hildebrand"Here we do not concede one square millimeter of territory to falsehood, folly, contemporary sentimentality, or fashion. We speak the truth, and let God be our judge. . . . Touchstone is the one committedly Christian conservative journal."
