TLC's value proposition for family camp is simple: to draw families closer together through shared experience, but we also want children to have the opportunity to know what it is to find their place within their peer group as a member of a team.
In 2021, TLC piloted an innovative program that allowed families to experience Texas Lions Camp together for the first time in TLC history. What we hoped would be an answer to the challenges posed by large group gatherings during pandemic conditions turned into so much more as families were able to make a bit of their own history and memories along with us.
Now continuing in innovation we present to you Residential Day Camp. This program has been designed to give families a chance to get to know TLC and prepare their kiddo to come to Camp independently in subsequent years. We hope this will be another exciting, memorable and safe experience in the life of your family. The opportunity to travel away from the norm, experience the great outdoors, build memories and set aside time to spend together in the evenings to build up self esteem and courage with the Can Do Attitude is something I hope will be a blessing to your family.
The most important things to note — is that Residential Day Camp is not Texas Lions Camp as you have known it but with families — it is something completely new and different. One of the largest departures being, that your qualifying kiddo (and age appropriate siblings, when needed) will remain on Camp during the day to do activities , while parents can explore all the Texas Hill Country has to offer. Then in the evening, you will return to Camp for dinner and to have the kiddos in your care then you will remain with them to experience all that TLC has to offer together as one unit.
Residential Day Camp is designed for family growth and respite by allowing your kiddo to attend activities daily and participate with you in the evenings. Parents/ Guardians will not be expected to stay on Camp during the day for activities; however, you must return to check out your kiddo each evening by the appointed time and you will then reside together on your on campus assigned dwelling.
Parents/Guardians are responsible for all medication administration, treatments and direct care of the participants each evening in their family unit. All participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times while on camp unless Checked in to Camp custody.
