Junction Kite Retreat (JKR) was originally founded and organised by Bill Lockhart and Betty Street. JKR is held at the Texas Tech Extention Campus in Junction, Texas (2 miles south of town), which is located at the intersection of Hwy 83 and I-10, just 2 miles south of the town of Junction.
The Junction Kite Makers’ Retreat will include activities, such as: free-fly time, a huge grass kite field, and numerous class sessions about kite building and art related kite projects, as well subjects related to any thing that flys, such as boomerangs.

The campus features many comforts, including lots of mowed flying acreage, hot showers and meals, class-rooms, air-conditioned dorm style housing and meals! Enjoy, watching deer walk around the cabins, and onto the kite field, early am or late pm!
