Camp Casa Mare on Galveston Bay is a tropical
paradise for ocean lovers and landlubbers alike. The
warm, salty breezes, the call of gulls, and the sight of
sailboats gliding across the bay provide the perfect
setting for seaside fun.
Special interest sessions focus on water sports such
as sailing and SCUBA. A fleet of Sunfish sailboats, Lasers,
and sloops provides a challenging experience for those
who wish to gain expertise in our Mariner program or
just learn basic sailing. There are also many activities for
landlubbers such as cheerleading, fencing and drama. In
addition to the focus of the session, campers participate
in traditional camp activities such as swimming, crafts,
games, hanging out and making new friends.
Girls staying at Camp Casa Mare live in dormitories.
Campers gather in the galley/lodge for meals and allcamp
assemblies. The galley also houses craft/activity
rooms and a display from the camp’s rich history.
Junior Olympian
Get ready for the Camp Casa Mare Olympics!
Develop personal skills and team work by joining

bicycling and more as they work towards the
Practice with a Purpose Legacy Badge.
