About the provider

Vista Camps says campers from around the world have called it home since 1921. The camp states that it is inspected and licensed by the Texas Department of Health annually. It also says children from all faiths are welcomed each summer, and that it offers an inspirational, non-denominational service each Sunday and a Catholic Mass for those who wish to attend.

The camp is non-denominational and based on Christian values. Campers experience life without technology, social media, and video games. There are separate camps for boys and girls.

What families say

“I want to enrich my child’s life with new friends and new opportunities.” — KatyParentAustin, TX

“As a first-time overnight camper, I was a little nervous, but my friends and the staff made me immediately feel very welcome. I loved having a break from all the electronics and loved being active outdoors and surrounded by nature. I liked Camp Rio Vista so much that I registered again for this summer!” — JulesCamperCanyon Lake, TX
