About the provider
Texas Lions Camp has been open since 1949. Its mission is to invite children to make friends, have fun, and get involved in a safe and supportive environment, while also helping them try things they may have thought were out of their reach, build self-esteem, and learn teamwork and healthy risks. The camp is accredited by the American Camp Association and licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services.
No families at camp during the three sessions of regular residential youth camps. If a child has never attended TLC, choose the 'Open New Account' option; returning users should log in with a prior account.
