The Kerrville Area

Half way between heaven and earth is Kerrville Texas. It doesn't sound like much at first, but after a short while you will come to love its small world charm and big town amenities (Kerrville has it's very own Wal-Mart, Home Depot and Cracker Barrel � need we say more?!).

What attracts so many visitors to Kerrville is the Hill Country where city folk come to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern suburbia. In the spring, the rolling countryside is covered with endless varieties of colorful wild flowers and in the summer, when the cities are too hot for happy humans, Kerrville is a cool escape because of the refreshing summer breeze. The fall season seems to linger throughout the winter months � the temperature is never very cold for long and in the event of snow, a local holiday is declared. Somewhere between heaven and earth you'll find Kerrville and in the middle of it all, is Schreiner University.

Approximately sixty miles northwest of San Antonio, Kerrville is the home of Schreiner University. A resort community nestled among the hills of south central Texas and along the Guadalupe River; its nearly 25,000 citizens enjoy generally dry weather, cool nights, and sunny days. An easy walk from the center of town, the campus is on Texas Highway 27 south and is near Interstate 10.

Kerrville and the surrounding Hill Country provide a wide-open playground for outdoor fun�canoeing, kayaking, and water-skiing on the Guadalupe River, rock climbing, camping, fishing, hiking, biking, off-roading�you name it. You'll also find museums, nature centers, theatres, lakes, parks, ranches�it's all right here for you.

Kerrville is also a lively home for the arts, from its Point Theater to the Kerrville Folk Festival and the official sponsor of the Texas Arts & Crafts Fair.

When you want to get away, San Antonio and all of its world-class attractions�the River Walk, Sea World, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, shopping�are less than an hour away.

In addition, Austin, with its edgy culture and incredible music scene, is just 90 minutes away.
