Camp Lonehollow

Lonehollow - a life changing experience.

Camp Lonehollow is known as one of the best overnight summer camps in Texas. Lonehollow is a place where your kids can run, grow, and thrive in a nurturing environment. At Lonehollow, children will have the opportunity to unplug and get away from city living. Our guides (counselors) encourage many life skills such as self-confidence, independence, and responsibility into the camper's during their time spent at camp. Family style meals occur three times a day, and are a good place to reestablish manners, healthy eating, and group bonding. Even though there is no escaping the fast paced world in which we live in, by sending your children to a camp like Lonehollow, the values and good habits that you instill into your kids at home will be deeply-rooted within them by the time they leave camp.

Camp Grady Spruce YMCA

Established in 1949, YMCA Camp Grady Spruce is all about relationships. We strengthen relationships with God, His creation and each other.

Camaraderie, joy, and memories are created along the shores of stunning Possum Kingdom Lake. Campers fall asleep under a star-filled sky and wake to the sun rising over the lake.

Camp Grady Spruce is made up of three individual camp sites: Main Camp (7-12 yr old boys), Ray Bean Camp (7-12 yr old girls), Frontier Camp (13-16 yr old co-ed). All camps offer activities such as water skiing/wakeboarding, sailing, and horses. Frontier offers Adventure Trips and leadership opportunities.

Camp is more than natural beauty and activities. It is a place where kids try new things, learn to live in community, appreciate the uniqueness and beauty of each other and experience the example of Christian living.

Character development is the most important benefit of the CGS experience. We embrace four core values: honesty, respect, responsibility and caring.

Wellspring Camps

Wellspring Camps provide a scientifically-based behavioral change program focused on long-term weight loss. The goal of Wellspring Camps is to expose campers who are more than 20 pounds overweight to different ways to get in shape and lose weight so that they continue to be active after camp ends.

Campers are typically grouped by age and gender, maximizing the program for each participant's needs and body type. In addition to recreational activities, campers meet with doctorate-level behavior coaches to make long-lasting changes in attitude and self esteem.

With a Wellspring Camp near you, you can enjoy the benefits of a scientifically based approach, a large pool of resources, smaller programs than traditional weight loss camps, diet camps or fat camps, and the chance to implement healthy lifestyle change in a supportive and fun environment. This summer, you may choose from 12 Wellspring programs: New York, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, California, Texas, Vancouver, United Kingdom, Wellspring Academy and Wellspring Family Camp.
