Mo Ranch is a Presbyterian conference center for summer camps, retreats, family reunions that is located west of Hunt, Texas in the Hill Country at the North Fork of the Guadalupe River.

The Ranch is named for Daniel J. Moran, who was chairman of Continental Oil Company (later to become Conoco, Inc.). He owned the 6,800-acre (28 km2) ranch from 1935 until his death in 1948; Presbyterians purchased the ranch in 1949, the year after his death, for $512,500. Eventually the State of Texas bought 6,500 acres (26 km2) of the ranch from the Presbyterians, and later expanded that portion with additional purchase of adjacent land. That land is now the Kerr County Wildlife Management Area, administered by the Texas Parks & Wildlife. Now the entire Mo-Ranch covers 500 acres (2.0 km2).

Junior High Jubilee is a conference open to junior high school students who have completed the 6th, 7th, and/or 8th grade. This is one of the two large youth conferences offered at Mo Ranch. Youth campers arrive at the beginning of the week and are assigned a number for a Small Group (SG). In these groups the Small Group Leader (SGL), the youth, and the youth sponsors discuss topics presented in the daily keynote led by the Keynote Speaker and in the daily worship led by the Worship Leader. These two activities are accompanied by music led by the Music Leader.
