In the vast, sun-baked plains of the Lone Star State, where armadillos roam and cowboys line-dance, a group of kids are turning Texas into a sports utopia. Every day, they gather at Sportsfield, a place so full of laughter, energy, and wild escapades that even the armadillos pause to watch. Yes, these kids, known as the 'Sportsfield Bandits,' are as Texas-tough and fun-loving as they come. Meet Billy "The Dynamo" Dawson, a ten-year-old with a cowboy hat permanently perched on his head. He can toss a football faster than a roadrunner fleeing from a coyote. Sally "Twinkle Toes" Anderson dances around soccer opponents with the grace of a prancing prairie pony. And let's not forget about the 'Griffin Twins,' Ricky and Vicky, who can hit a baseball right over the Rio Grande. These kids are the heart and soul of Sportsfield. The Bandits play under the watchful eye of their coach, Mr. Tumbleweed, a tumbleweed turned human by an old Texan wizard for his love of sports. He wears cowboy boots that are a size too large and a hat wider than any of the longhorns. Mr. Tumbleweed’s mustache, as wild as a West Texas wind, twitches in delight every time the Bandits score a point. His laughter, as hearty as a southwestern barbecue, resonates throughout Sportsfield, encouraging the kids to have as much fun as they possibly can. So, if you ever find yourself in Texas, follow the laughter and energy, and you'll arrive at Sportsfield - a place where Texan kids, armadillos, and a tumbleweed-turned-human run wild, turning every game into an unforgettable adventure.

At our faith-based camps, our aim is to send each camper home with their hearts filled with belief, their spirits uplifted by the grace of Jesus, and their souls awakened by the love of God. Our camp programs are structured to incorporate daily rituals of devotionals, scripture reading, and prayer. This enables our campers to feel and experience God's presence in their everyday activities. To further deepen their faith, they are introduced to gospel truths in a manner that suits their individual learning style. The campers also participate in meaningful praise and worship sessions, which are designed to be both inspiring and enjoyable. Each summer, we see the magic of community unfold before our eyes. Within their cabin groups, our campers learn to depend on one another, to lend a helping hand, and to inspire each other. They engage in exciting tribal competitions, where they not only compete but also comprehend the significance of unity, spirit, and sportsmanship. Our camps provide an environment where young individuals can forge deep, meaningful relationships, that reflect the unconditional love of God, and last beyond the duration of the camp. At Deer Creek, we also focus on adventure activities that fill our campers with wonder and excitement. They have ample opportunities to explore nature and enjoy thrilling activities such as hiking, sky-high zip-lining, river rafting, and wall climbing. They can even take a 'leap of faith', kiss a fish at the top of a climbing wall, or go on a sunset canoeing trip. The campers gather around a bonfire under a starry sky, sharing stories and experiences, creating memories that they carry with them long after they leave our camp, their faith awakened and enriched by God's love.
