INKS LAKE 

Inks Lake State Park is located in beautiful Burnett County and one of 

the best places to camp in Texas. Here, you and your family can enjoy 

lots of fun activities, including boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, 

geocaching, birding, and more. There’s even a cliff-diving experience 

to be had at the Devil’s Waterhole area of the lake. There are 22 cabins 

and 200 campsites (RV, Tent and Primitive camping) most having 

picnic tables, water, a fire ring or grill, 30/50-amp hookups, showers, 

and restrooms close by. Find out more at https://tpwd.texas.gov/ 

state-parks/inks-lake 

BIG THICKET 

NATIONAL PRESERVE 

#2 

If you love nature, then you absolutely 

must come to see this place! 

It is popular with visitors who enjoy 

a variety of outdoor pursuits, including mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, 

and horseback riding. The area is known as “the biological 

crossroads of North America,” being a transitional zone where deciduous 

forests, pine savannas, swamps, plains, and sandhills meet. 

There are plenty of primitive campsites to choose from spread out 

among the cypress-lined bayous and longleaf pine forests. 

COLORADO 

BEND STATE PARK 

#3 

One of the primary outdoor attractions 

in the state and provides 

visitors with the perfect blend of 

outdoor fun activities and mind-blowing views. There are drive-up 

campsites, primitive sites, and backpack sites all available in this 

stunning setting. The hike-in and drive-up sites all have water nearby 

but no hookups. Perhaps the highlight of this location is spectacular 

Gorman Falls, where water cascades down 65 feet into a fern-shrouded 

grotto. On hot summer days, you can cool off in one of the many 

pretty swimming holes. Ample opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors 

from paddling the river, fishing, mountain biking, and hiking 

around 35 miles of trails. While you’re here, why not get down and 

dirty and take a guided cavern tour?

BIG BEND 

NATIONAL PARK 

#4 

One of the best places for camping 

in Texas! Take the Ross Maxell Scenic Drive to see the ruins of Sam 

Nail Ranch. Spectacular limestone canyon of Santa Elena, carved 

over millennia by the Rio Grande. Pay a visit to historical Langford 

Hot Springs, where you can see the foundations of an old bathhouse. 

Big Bend extends for 114 miles along the Rio Grande and offers visitors 

the best primitive and roadside camping options in the entire 

state of Texas. Experienced backpackers will relish the challenge of 

tough hiking trails that ascend to almost 8,000 feet, where incredible 

panoramic vistas can be enjoyed in total isolation. Families will love 

the dinosaur fossil experience. You can take a canoe or kayak and 

go paddling down the Rio Grande through Mariscal and St Helena 

Canyons, taking in some of the most beautiful, memorable views of 

nature at its best in the whole of the state. 

#5 

ENCHANTED 

ROCK 

The area is probably most well-known for its colossal piece of pink 

granite rock, which is one of the largest known natural rock formations 

in the U.S. The area has almost 11 miles of hiking trails (although 

biking is not permitted.) You can even take a midnight hike 

to see the incredible display of brilliant stars against the velvet-black 

summer sky without the interference of urban light pollution. Experienced 

rock climbers will find a challenge in scaling the pink granite 

cliff faces here, and there’s plenty of desert wildlife for the kids to spot 

too. There are 35 walk-in campsites here, all of which are equipped 

with picnic tables, grills, water, tent pads, fire rings, and restrooms 

with showers. If you prefer to keep things super-basic, there are 20 

primitive, hike-in campsites scattered around Moss Lake and Walnut 

Springs, accessible via a one to three-mile hike across rugged terrain. 

There’s also a group primitive campground that will take 75 people. 

The site has a private entrance and composting toilets but no water. 

#6 

GARNER STATE PARK 

Garner State Park is a great place to 

visit for a swim or hike, or to enjoy 

a relaxing weekend. With 2.9 miles 

of Frio River winding through 1,774 

acres of scenic Hill Country terrain, the park offers lots to see and do! 

Swim in the Frio River or float its waters on an inner tube, operate 

a paddle boat, and hike 16 miles of scenic trails. You can also camp, 

study nature, picnic, canoe, fish, play miniature golf, geocache and 

ride bikes. Overnight visitors can stay in screened shelters, cabins 

or campsites. Large groups can rent the screened shelter or group 

campsite. The park’s concessionaire sells meals and snacks during 

the busy season, and rents the pavilion in the off season. Since the 

1940s, young folks (and the young at heart) have been gathering at 

the park’s concession building on summer evenings for a jukebox 

dance. They still do so today. Visitors can rent paddle boats, kayaks 

and inner tubes, as well as tables, barbecue pits, heaters and fans. 

The park’s concessionaire operates a tube shuttle and putt-putt golf 

course during busy seasons. Rent a small locker near the boathouse 

for stashing your valuables. For more information, visit Garner State 

Park Concessions.

KATY ISD’S PARTNERS IN EDUCATION 

LAUNCHES FIRST EVER FOOD FOR FAMILIES- 

SCHOOL’S OUT CAMPAIGN 

Katy ISD’s Partners in Education is inviting the community to bring hope 

to families who could use some extra help this summer. For the first time 

ever, the Food for Families program is expanding to include support for 

Katy ISD families in need over the summer too. Partners in Education is 

working with all the Katy ISD junior high schools for this summer launch. 

The Katy ISD junior high campuses help to identify students for the 

program and Partners in Education collects community and corporate 

donations. Food for Families - School’s Out will benefit those select 

Katy ISD junior high families in need this summer. Those interested in 

supporting Food for Families can contribute online or via check, remitted 

to “Katy ISD Food for Families” and mailed to Partners in Education, Katy 

ISD ESC, 6301 South Stadium Lane, Katy, TX 77494. Food for Families is 

a community initiative raising monetary donations to purchase grocery 

gift cards for Katy ISD students and their families in need over the 

holidays and NOW over the summer. Cards are distributed to students 

before school is out with a note of best wishes from our community. In 

the 2020 holiday season, Food for Families raised over $60,000. Since its 

inception in 2002, this initiative has raised over $300,000 and assisted 

more than 6,300 families. 

Food for Families, a Katy ISD Partners in Education yearly initiative, 

unites our Katy ISD staff and community in support for select students 

and their families. To learn more, visit Partners in Education under the 

“Community” tab at www.katyisd.org or contact Tammy Stringer, 281- 

396-2645, tammyrstringer@katyisd.org.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES LOOK TO MOVE FORWARD 

WITH FUTURE KATY ISD VIRTUAL HIGH SCHOOL 

Katy Independent School District is preparing to move forward with the 

establishment of a virtual high school after trustees discussed and voted 

to approve the item at tonight’s Regular Board Meeting, pending future 

guidance and funding from the state. The Katy ISD Virtual High School would 

be tuition-free and considered a full-time stand-alone virtual high school 

campus. The virtual high school criteria and student eligibility include: 

• The virtual campus would have its own Texas Education Agency (TEA) 

campus code. 

• Students would be required to submit an online application during a 

designated window of time. 

• Students would need to meet the required criteria for acceptance into 

the virtual high school. 

• Enrollment in the virtual high school would be for one calendar school 

year. Students would be able to elect to withdraw and return to their home 

campus during the summer and before the start of a new school year. 

• Students would graduate from the Katy ISD virtual high school and 

would earn a GPA, class rank (top 10%) and quartile rank with their virtual 

school cohort. 

• Students attending the virtual high school would not be eligible to 

participate in their home campus UIL and/or extracurricular activities. 

This past April, the District sought input from parents of secondary students 

through an interest survey. More than 1,200 responses were received from 

parents who expressed an interest in their child(ren) attending a standalone 

virtual high school during the 2021-22 school year.

KATY’S NEWEST FILMMAKING AND ANIMATION 

CAMP CREATED BY SLHS ALUMNI 

Session 2: July 20 th -22 nd : 8:30 AM-3:30 PM 

Howdy! Our names are Kai, Cazden, Robbie and Jack, we are four SLHS Alumni 

and Texas Film School Graduates. For the past year we have been creating 

Katy’s newest and only Animation and Filmmaking camp, Creator Camp! Our 

goal is to share with students the wonders of film and animation without the 

dullness of note taking and lectures. We designed our 3-day camps so that 

students will learn hands-on and in real-time, creating Special effects, Green 

Screen effects, Sound effects and loads more. Each day, students will come 

home with a new movie they created themselves and on the last day we will 

transform a classroom into a mock Oscars Film Festival where your child will 

pick their favorite film that they made to be shown on the big screen! We are 

running our first camps this summer and we would love to have some support 

from the local community to get us off to a good start. Camps are held at Mirus 

Academy Katy, 5561 3 rd St, Katy, TX 77493 and Each camper will receive a free 

shirt and goody bag. Two Sessions will be held this summer: If your child is 

interested in filmmaking or animation please visit our site at CreatorCamp.org.

ROSE THERAPEUTIC FARM AND GOAT YOGA SUMMER CAMPS 

ROSE Therapeutic Farm Summer Camps are an exciting way to light 

up any young person’s summer. Our camps provide unique, hands-on 

opportunities for learning, growth, and fun. Campers spend their time 

here immersed in the natural world, with animals and the environment. 

Each camp is loaded with creative, enriching activities meant to help 

your kiddos connect with nature and learn how to enjoy “the simple life.” 

This is meant to be a real farm/ranch life experience so we will get dirty! 

We will also be outside all day. We have a large barn where we will do our 

crafts, eat lunch and other activities but it is not air-conditioned. Please 

have your kiddos dress accordingly. If they don’t like being outdoors or 

getting dirty, this may not be the camp for them. 

* 1 to 4 day sessions available. 

*Our camps are geared toward children ages 6 – 12. 

*Each camp will have 18 or less participants. We must have at least 5 

campers to start each camp.

becoming the first theater in the country to install hospital grade UV lights 

in our air filtration system. We even offered a safe and distanced indoor 

concert as well as an indoor offering from our educational touring unit 

this past fall. And when those projects proved financially challenging and 

COVID numbers spiked again, we created “Light Up the Lot” and moved 

all our programming outdoors. We’ve never given up. We never will give 

up. But due to circumstances beyond our control, we find ourselves 

needing to pivot once more. Which brings us to the announcement of 

our virtual season. Go to www.adplayers.org for all the information.

Fried Chicken 

You could make this on National Fried Chicken Day July 6th! 

INGREDIENTS: 

2 to 3 pounds chicken, cut into pieces 

3 cups all-purpose flour 

5 tbsp. seasoned salt 

3 tbsp. garlic powder 

Salt and pepper to taste 

4 eggs, beaten 

Vegetable oil for frying 

DIRECTIONS: 

In a shallow plate or bowl, mix the flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, salt 

and pepper. Roll or shake the chicken pieces in the flour mixture and place 

on a platter. Then dip each chicken piece in the egg and roll again in flour 

mixture. 

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry 

coated chicken pieces in hot oil for about 5 minutes on each side. Cover 

skillet and cook on lower heat for about 10 minutes. Remove cover, turn 

up heat and fry for 5 minutes on each side to make chicken crispy. Chicken 

is done when it is no longer pink inside and its juices run clear. Drain fried 

chicken on paper towels and keep warm in oven until ready to serve.

BASIC GRILL TIPS 

1. Always grill in a well-ventilated area away from shrubs, buildings and 

overhangs such as awnings or patio umbrellas. 

2. Never leave a lighted grill unattended. 

3. Keep young children and animals away from the grill. 

4. Wait until the charcoals begin to turn white before you start to grill 

(approximately 40 minutes). 

5. Never use kerosene or gasoline to start a charcoal fire in the grill. Avoid 

using chemical starters or chemically treated briquettes as well, as they 

will affect the taste of your food. 

6. To start a fire, pile the briquettes in a pyramid shape. Once hot, however, 

they may be distributed in a single layer across the grill. 

7. Place the rack of the grill at least five inches above the coals. 

8. Always have a pair of fire-resistant cooking mitts handy and use longhandled 

tongs while cooking. 

9. Fire flare-ups can be avoided by raising the height of the grill rack or 

closing the vents of a covered grill. A spray bottle filled with water is also 

helpful to have around. Gas- or electric-grill flare-ups can be controlled 

by lowering the heat thermostat. 

10. To make a charcoal grill hotter, either move the coals together, 

open the grill vents partially if closed, lower the height of the grill rack 

or add more dry briquettes to the fire. Never add briquettes that are 

precoated with a fire-starter fluid to the existing hot coals. 

11. Try not to turn fish fillets on the grill more than once, as they are 

delicate and may fall apart. 

12. Most important, don’t be afraid and have fun while you’re grilling. You 

will be a pro by summer’s end.

GARDEN TIPS FOR JULY 

• Plant fall flowering annuals where your spring annuals have bloomed 

out. Set our seeds like zinnia, marigold, cosmos, petunia and portulaca so 

you’ll have color until frost. Don’t let seedlings dry out. 

• In summer, prune roses to keep them in shape. Continue black spot and 

insect treatments. Water 2” once per week. 

• Remove spent crepe myrtle flowers to prolong bloom production. 

• Weeds rob plants of valuable water, nutrients--remove them. 

• Great sun/heat-lovers include coral honeysuckle, coreopsis, lantana, 

oleanders and hamelia. 

• Fertilize flowers lightly, if at all; too hot for heavy feedings. 

• Water your lawn longer but less frequent. Deep water of about 2 - 3” per 

week forces plant roots to grow down, instead of sideways into sunbaked 

upper soil levels. Use a bowl in your yard to measure during waterings.
