Camp Cedarbrook Texas is a Christ-centered, Bible-based outdoor program with separate camps for girls and boys and is affiliated with The Association of Cedarbrook Camps. The camp purpose includes encouraging campers to develop a personal relationship with God and apply Biblical principles to daily life, and its core values include skill-building and individual development, spiritual formation, relationships and community, and creation appreciation. The mission statement describes Camp Cedarbrook Texas as a camping ministry dedicated to developing God-centered relationships and equipping individuals for Christ-like service and Christian leadership. The Camper in Leadership Training (CILT) program is a five-week program spread over three years that prepares campers to become counselors at Camp Cedarbrook Texas.

Camp Cedarbrook Texas has served in this camping ministry since 1960, when it was licensed by Pioneer Clubs, Inc. under the names Piney Woods Camp Cherith and Lone Star Camp Cherith. The camp strives to maintain a camper-to-counselor ratio of 7 to 1 and a camper-to-staff ratio of 4 to 1. High-risk activities such as boating, target sports, horsemanship, and challenge sports have specific, industry-based age and physical requirements, and the Texas State Health Department requires properly completed camper and staff medical forms, including immunization records and a signature by a doctor or parent or guardian.

The rifle program is conducted by NRA certified and experienced instructors, and some staff are First Aid and CPR certified. At a minimum, there is a full-time Registered Nurse (RN) or Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) as part of the staff, and camp staff members are trained in safety awareness, child abuse prevention, and emergency procedures. The horsemanship program is taught by trained, experienced, and certified instructors. The archery program qualifies as an Explore Archery Club of the USA Archery program.

Parent and volunteer comments describe campers talking about returning to camp, enjoying counselors and other campers, and taking part in crafts, water activities, rope climbing, kayaking, riding horses, archery, and riflery. One parent notes that their children attended through their high school years and that they appreciated having a week just for boys and a week just for girls. A long-time volunteer reports more than 10 years on staff at Lone Star (TX) Camp Cedarbrook and more than 3 years at Saguaro (AZ) Camp Cedarbrook, along with earlier experience in other camp ministries.
