Cono Christian School

Cono Christian School was a private Christian school founded in 1951 near Walker, Iowa, by Max and Jean Belz serving K-12 day and boarding students from around the United States and the world. Boarding students were generally in middle and high school.

In 2017 the 192-acre property and facility began use as a camp and retreat center of Ridge Haven, the camp and conference center of the Presbyterian Church in America. Summer camps were planned for 2018.

This Christian boarding school began as a ministry of Bible Presbyterian Church (PCA). Max Belz was the pastor of the church at the time of the school's founding. He, Jean, and their eight children lived on the 1 acre of donated property where the church building was built. Today Cono has 192 acre, 25 of which are developed with academic, athletic and student and staff residential facilities.
