Crossing Borders camp utilizes the camp facilities of a non-denominational mission ministry called Laredo Stepping Stone (see their website at www.laredosteppingstone.com). The camp is located a few miles north and west of Laredo, Texas. The physical address is 377 Palomino Road, but the road is so rural it is not mapped on most internet mapping services.


If you’re driving to the camp, follow these directions:

  • From all areas north of Laredo, get on Interstate 35 and head south. The camp is about three hours south of San Antonio.

  • From I-35 north of Laredo, take exit #24.

  • Follow the frontage road to the top of the highway overpass bridge.

  • Turn right onto highway 255 (Columbian Tollway—although there is no toll collected).

  • Go 14 miles to mile marker #8.

  • Turn left onto road 3338.

  • Go 5.4 miles and turn right onto Rancho Penitas.

  • Go 0.9 mile (past a recreation park on your right) and turn left onto Palomino Road.

  • Follow the gravel road about ½ mile to a sharp 90-degree turn to the right.

  • Do not make the right-hand turn. The camp entrance is through a white wooden fence on your left-hand side.
