Camp of the Hills began in the summer of 1990, and over time it acquired a 105-acre site. Since 1990, over 35,000 children have been introduced to the love of Christ through this ministry. The mission of Camp of the Hills is to create a space and an invitation to see, hear, know, and experience God, with a stated purpose to love well, pursue excellence, partner with the community, and live out God’s goodness at camp. Camp of the Hills is a ministry dedicated to showing God’s love to campers and making camp experiences accessible and supportive of the needs of youth from low-income and vulnerable communities from across Texas.
The leadership team includes Executive Director Kevin Ludlum; Operations Director Alicen Ohorán; Office Administrator D’Ann Herrod; Retreats and Rentals Coordinator and Poiema Coordinator Erin McGee; Outdoor Education Director and Summer Day Camp Coordinator Kayley Lowe; Booking Coordinator Alex Flores; Summer Coordinator Brayden Gill; Kitchen Coordinator Daniel Heo; Community Relations and Recruiting Coordinator Fina Coldiron; and Facilities and Grounds staff member Teodulo (Teo) Robledo. Staff experience includes backgrounds in education, ministry, hospitality, special education, behavioral support, community development, human resource development, interdisciplinary studies, homeland security studies and Arabic, and kitchen work in restaurants and camp settings. Staff are specially trained to engage with a broad spectrum of social, emotional, and behavioral development needs.
Camp of the Hills offers outdoor education programming for PreK–12th grade in half-day, full-day, overnight, and week-long formats, and it provides Immerse Internships for young adults ages 18 and older that focus on nine months of work training, life skills, and spiritual development. The campus includes cabins, cottages, kitchens, meeting rooms, and grounds that are available for hosting events and retreats throughout the year. The camp operates on a lean annual operating budget with a handful of paid staff, and approximately 80% of operating funds come from charitable gifts, which are leveraged with thousands of volunteer hours.
Camp of the Hills partners with teachers and schools to offer field trips and is dedicated to making camp experiences accessible and supportive of the needs of youth from low-income and vulnerable communities from across Texas. Renting facilities during the off-season helps make summer camps and field trips more accessible to those coming from low-income communities. The organization values community partnership and recognizes and embraces the opportunities others have to be involved in God’s work through Camp of the Hills, and Community Relations and Recruiting Coordinator Fina Coldiron helps build connections between the camp and the surrounding community. Camp of the Hills has met all new state safety expectations, and the state has released a notice that the current license will remain in effect and will be honored throughout the upcoming camp season.
