The Light Center

The Light Center is a 95 acre natural sanctuary nestled in a wooded creek valley amidst the farm land of Kansas. 

• We have a refinished community barn with two private rooms and a community kitchen, a 30ft Pacific Yurt and lots of great places to camp. 

• If you're just driving through or want an 'easy' camping experience with wifi, pitch your tent in the spacious yard around the barn. 

• We have lots of places to hike to and several wonderful remote camping spots. Choose from hiking out to camp near the large creek that winds through our land, gathering with friends in a meadow or tucking into a spot in the woods with a beautiful view of the Kansas plains. 

• Out here, on a clear night, you can see all of the stars.

We are an organic, sustainable farm providing natural sacred spaces for hiking and camping.  We welcome peaceful camping for people with reverence for the land and all beings. We have goats, free-range chickens, guinea hens, dogs and cats. For the safety of our livestock and other guests, we do require visitors to keep their dogs on a leash at all times. 

The Light Center is a retreat center serving as a beacon, lighting the way into a vibrant future. We are creating new paths with open hearts. We offer events, celebrations and ceremonies about harmonizing with the earth and inspiring personal, local and global connections. We provide a safe space to nurture and inspire spiritual growth and empower youth.

Our 30 ft. diameter Pacific Yurt nestled in the woods can accommodate several campers! The easiest camping you will ever experience!

There is a creek near by that allows for some nature walks or a place for your dogs to splash. 

Roots, Fruits & Greens Farm

The farm is in its tenth growing season, selling eggs and vegetables for home delivery and to some of Kansas City's best restaurants.  

We are so excited to share the beauty of the property with you!

The host was so nice and set up a barrier between the ground and our tent since it was chilly out. 

This is a great creek nearby the campsites, our dog enjoyed playing in the water.

Our dog, Tucker, really enjoyed being on the cable getting to play in the leaves.

When we arrived a fire was already built for us with extra firewood nearby.

The hipcamp host taught us alot about hunting and trapping. We enjoyed hearing his stories.

A view of our campsite from a creek, there is also a beautiful river on property that is great to play in during the summer!

Our campsite was great, there were plenty of amenities like this table and chairs. 

RC Estate

We invite you to see what this land has to offer when we care in sustainable ways. 

A variety of flora and fauna are found here, from prairie plains to wooded creeks with clear water and flagstone foundation. 

Beautiful trails to hike, bike, ride or drive (horse carriage) are well marked with safety and good humor in mind. While we have paths mowed, they are not mowed weekly like lawns, so expect a bit of nature length on occasion.  Bring your choice of bug deterrent for a comfortable stay. 

Be one with nature, and also a part of what is to come. 

From berries in the summer to eggs year round, we hope to offer a fully sustainable experience

Opportunities to take part in this labor of love are bountiful!
