Cono Christian School is a private Christian school founded in 1951 near Walker, Iowa, by Max and Jean Belz. Historically, it was a K-12 day and boarding school serving students from around the United States and the world.[1] 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 (4,000 m2) of donated property where the church building was built. Today Cono has 192 acres (0.78 km2), 25 of which are developed with academic, athletic and student and staff residential facilities.
