About Camp Champions


With a legacy of building strong kids, Camp Champions continues to set the gold standard for Texas summer camps.

Whether it’s sailing across Lake LBJ, conquering a high ropes course or forging friendships, kids don’t just “go to camp,” they become part of something bigger.

This is all made possible with Camp Champions’ dedication to providing a safe, exciting, and tech-free environment for campers to grow and create memories that will last a lifetime.


Editor’s Note: Our staff works hard to bring you the latest information. However, all information mentioned in this article is subject to change. As always, please confirm before heading out.


What Makes Camp Champions a Champion for Your Child?

Camp Champions is home to endless summer fun, but while your kids are having a blast, they’re also going to be learning foundational life skills that will set them up for success years beyond camp. Here’s what sets them apart:

Building Strong Kids for a Bright Future

At Camp Champions, “building strong kids” means helping campers develop the skills to excel in school, build strong friendships, and make good decisions. We are one of only four camps nationwide named an Exemplar Program by the Partnership for 21st Century Learning.

Each day starts with fun, and campers are so engaged they don’t even realize they’re developing critical skills like communication, collaboration, creativity, resilience, and leadership.

The Best Counselors

First, Camp Champions counselors commit to not drinking alcohol for the duration of the summer, including their off time. This helps attract counselors with the right values and ensures they are always at their best and prioritizing their role as mentors. Second, Camp Champions counselors have a full two-week orientation, the longest training of any camp we know of.

A Tech-Free Experience That Kids Actually Love

Excessive screen time is impacting kids’ mental and physical health. At Camp Champions, we show campers they can thrive without phones and screens, helping them build confidence, friendships, and happiness in real life. Campers come home with a healthier relationship with technology, realizing they don’t need a phone to be their most amazing selves.


What to Expect at Camp Champions 2025

Camp Champions will keep your kids busy in the most fun and engaging ways. Here are a few things to expect:

Activities

From kayaking to ninja courses, archery to fine arts, and rock climbing to waterskiing, campers will never run out of things to do at Camp Champions. The camp boasts over 50 fun and exciting activities that will surely make their summer stay a blast.

What does a day at camp look like?

While no two days of camp are exactly the same, we do have a daily schedule that provides plenty of fun and helps us maintain a well-organized routine. Our wide range of activities allows campers the opportunity to build skills in different areas. Campers enjoy five activity periods, so they might be wakeboarding on Lake LBJ in the morning, soaring down the zip line by afternoon, and mastering archery before dinner.

Mornings begin with Round Up and in the evening, the boys get together at the Coliseum while the girls gather at the Forum for camp’s traditional Torchlight ceremony. Aside from that, campers might find themselves at a lively themed dance party, a hilarious skit night, or participating in an epic group game.

Sundays are slightly different from regular camp days. Campers get to sleep in for an hour to catch up on rest. Once they awake, they’ll have the camp’s traditional Trojan/ Spartan games.

Then, at the end of the day, the camp holds a camp-wide picnic where the winner of the games will be announced.

Popular FAQs

  • How does the camp accommodate allergies or dietary restrictions?
    • Parents must alert the camp early about their child’s allergies or dietary restrictions. Rest assured, the camp’s chef, Chef G, and his staff take special care in preparing meals. They also always have vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options on hand.
  • Are devices allowed at camp?
    • Phones and gaming devices should be left at home. Campers can only bring personal music systems, such as an mp3 player with no video or internet capability.
  • How can you stay updated with what’s going on at camp?
    • Camp Champions uses a mobile app called Campanion where they provide daily updates such as pictures and blogs.

Camp Champions believes that every child should have the opportunity to go to camp for at least 2-3 weeks before going to college. Attending multiple summers allows the benefits of going to camp to compound. Even if a camper is only able to attend one summer at camp, he or she will still develop confidence for the future.

Camp Champions recognizes that camp is a large investment in your child’s success, and we want to do our part to reduce the financial barrier to camp. For the first time, campers in the final session (Double 5 July 27 – Aug 9) can take advantage of a 50% discount! This is our way of showing that we’re serious when we say that every child should have at least one experience of going to camp.
