Workdays Scheduled for 2020


Kerrville, TX - January 13, 2020. It's the start of the new year, and TLC is in full-swing recruiting summer staff members and campers and will soon be hosting its semi-annual board meeting as well. There is another very important aspect to preparing for Summer Camp 2020 that is also just around the corner, and that is our three (3) workdays, held the 1st Saturday of the month of March, April and May. Following that formula, we will meet at TLC on the following dates:

  1. March 7, 2020
  2. April 4, 2020
  3. May 2, 2020

These events have grown materially in their popularity and it is not uncommon for more than 550 people to be present and working at each one. As a matter of fact, I like to say, that before any child crosses our front-gate for camp, more than 2,000 volunteers arrived early to make sure that the gate was open. This of course does not account for the Texas Lions, myriad donors, sponsors and others who do so much to make the atmosphere at Camp so welcoming.

One of the things that has become tradition is to offer a newly designed workday shirt to commemorate the year at a greatly reduced price. This is a mok-up of what our 2020 shirts will look like.


Stephen has established a web-page and registration system to support your attendance. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required for each group so that we can plan for meals and accommodations. Whether a group or single, Lion or non-Lion, I hope that you will plan to join us for food, fun and fellowship as we pave the way for our kiddos in 2020.
