Camp Champions states that its mission is to help every camper grow into the champion they are intended to be. The camp is ACA-accredited and is one of four overnight summer camps in the country to be certified as a Partnership for 21st Century Skills Exemplar Program. It was voted Favorite Overnight Camp by the Austin Family Reader’s Poll for the last 8 years and consistently ranks as one of the best overnight summer camps in Texas. The camp has counselors who do not drink alcohol.
The on-site nurse team consists of 6 registered nurses (RNs) who are available 24/7 to handle camper health issues or injuries, and the head nurse is Joanna Guenther. All medications brought to camp must be checked in on Opening Day, and all medications should be entered onto the camper’s health forms.
The leadership team includes Steve Baskin (The Camp Geek), Susie Baskin (The Camp Mom), Erec Hillis (Owner/Executive Director), John Bailey (Site Manager), Ali Grello (Retreats Director), Jessica Akins (Bookkeeper), Phyllis Campbell (Office Manager), and Chef G (Food Service Manager).

Parent feedback includes comments that Camp Champions communicates the “whys” of what happens at camp and that camp is very intentional and designed to help kids grow into better people while still having a good time. One parent from Colorado Springs shared that their children had a “blast” and described the closing ceremony as an important step for their children’s future. Another parent from Houston commended the camp on its communication with parents, staff attitudes, and morals, and stated that they could not imagine a camp with higher standards.
