ALL BOYS CAMP - TECABOCA:
TEXAS CATHOLIC BOYS CAMP
Mountain Home, Texas • 830-866-3425 • tecaboca.com
All Boys Campers, 2nd-6th graders
Fun and Friendship should define every summer camp. Add in the
ingredient of our summer camp core values, and you have Tecaboca. The
summer camp core values of Leadership, Honesty, Integrity, Humility,
Fortitude, Loyalty, Obedience, and Spirit of Service is woven throughout
everyday life at Camp. What you see when you are at Camp is a community
working to enjoy the outdoors, laugh with each other, support each
other, and learn to see God in everything - from the abundant nature
surrounding us, to the interactions between individuals.
YMCA CAMP
CAMP FLAMING ARROW
Hunt, Texas • 830-238-4631 • ymcasatx.org/campflamingarrow
Coed Campers, Ages 6-16
Our camp goal is to provide a summer camp experience rich in tradition
centered on our core values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility
and faith, and allowing campers to gain independence, a higher selfworth
and life-long, positive memories. For instance, Pow Wow, our
chapel time, is led by an assigned cabin (teaching responsibility) and
a lesson is taught about the value of the day (e.g. Monday is devoted to
discussing the value of caring.) Our staff wear their value t-shirts daily to
remind all campers what the emphasis is for that day. Even discipline is
structured around our values: for instance, a time-out for being uncaring
and disrespectful to a fellow camper. Activities are taught with the
premise of respecting the safety rules and always having faith in yourself
and others. Each evening is concluded with an in-cabin devotional,
called Embers, which closes the day by reflecting on the daily value,
daily activities and fellowship with cabin mates and counselors. These
values transcend the camp session and supplement the values taught
at home. The YMCA Ragger Program is also offered for those youth and
staff who wish to be a part of a more spiritual self-growth program.
CHRISTIAN CAMP / GLUTEN SENSITIVE CAMP
OFFERED - GILMONT CAMP
Gilmer, Texas • 903-797-6400 • gilmont.org
Coed Campers, Ages 6-17
Within the close community built around cabin groups and time spent learning
and sharing, we ponder and practice what it means to Branch Out! Camp lasts
only one week―but what campers take home can last a lifetime. Campers are
reminded that they can take that camp-feeling with them everywhere they go
because they are connected to one another and to God by Christ. The Bible
stories in Branching Out encourage campers to use prayer, relationships,
family, and more to stay connected throughout their lives.

AQUATIC SCIENCE ADVENTURE CAMP
AT TEXAS STATE UNIVERSITY
San Marcos, Texas • 512-245-2329 • www.eadrc.txstate.edu/camp
Coed Campers, Ages 9-15
During this week-long camp, campers will have the chance to learn through
exploration and hands-on activities related to water and the environment. We
believe in the power of experiential learning and self-directed discovery. Whether
it’s on a bug hunt in the creek, getting dirty in a cave, or reaching the top of the ropes
course, all of our activities are designed to stimulate, challenge, and empower our
campers and impart a lasting understanding of the world around them.
