The state of Texas, also known as the Lone Star State, is one big playground for the adventurous kids who call it home. With its sprawling landscapes, wild west history, and cultural melting pot, it's as if the state was crafted by a master storyteller with a great sense of humor, probably a cowboy named Tex McLaughlin who rides a taco-fueled unicycle! Now, let's talk about these adventurous Texas explorers. These pint-sized adventurers, each with a heart as big as their beloved state, are always up for the thrill of discovery. With their cowboy hats tipped just right, and trusty pencils and notebooks in their back pockets, they're ready to document every unusual cacti, track down every armadillo, and map every wind-twisted canyon in their path. Every day is a new exploration where they learn something new, whether it's finding out that the bluebonnet is the state flower, or discovering that Texas is the only state to have the flags of six different nations fly over it. They can turn anything into an adventure, even a visit to their grandmother's farm can turn into a quest to find the legendary chupacabra! Of course, no Texan explorer's day would be complete without a trip to the local diner for a massive slice of pecan pie. Because according to Tex McLaughlin, "Every good adventure ends with a swig of root beer and a mouthful of sugary, nutty goodness!" And who's going to disagree with a unicycle-riding, taco-eating cowboy?

We are proud to be accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed as a Youth Camp in the State of Texas. Our campers may have physical challenges, developmental delays, dual-sensory impairments, or multiple disabilities. However, we welcome all campers, regardless of the severity of their disabilities, as long as we can medically meet their needs.
