MEET THE YEAR-ROUND STAFF
Rusty Brandon, Executive Director
"My name is Rusty Brandon. I am the new Executive Director at Alto Frio Baptist Camp. Dixie, my wife of 42 years, and I have been involved in ministry for almost 30 years. We have 3 wonderful kids and 9 amazing grandkids. We moved to Alto Frio from Highland Lakes Camp in Spicewood, Texas, where we served for almost 8 years. Dixie served as the Summer Registrar and Special Events Coordinator and I served as the Director of Recreation and then as the Assistant Executive Director of Operations.
"During our time in the ministry, we have seen God move in powerful ways. As Alto Frio Baptist Camp celebrates its 100 years in existence, we feel God is leading us to prepare the camp for the next 100 years. God is doing some amazing things here at Alto Frio, so hold on to your hat, buckle your seat belt, and hang on for the ride of your life. We serve an awesome God.
"We feel blessed to be part of the amazing staff God has assembled here at Alto Frio and we are looking forward with excitment to see what He unfolds in front of us on a daily basis."
