Our Mission:
To create a space & an invitation to see, hear, know, and experience God!
State Licensing Renewal Update:
At Camp of the Hills, the safety and well-being of our campers is always our highest priority. While we did not personally experience any damages or dangers from the floods last summer, we want to assure our parents, caregivers, volunteers, and donors that camp has met all new state safety expectations, and are excited to welcome campers for another meaningful and life-changing season Summer 2026!
Licensing Process: After the tragedies many campsites experienced during last summer’s floods, Texas DSHS has been working to update and verify safety expectations at all camps. Here at Camp of the Hills, we have submitted all appropriate documentation, met all safety measures, and been in direct communication with the appropriate agencies. However, due to the massive overhaul of license renewals all across the state, it is taking the state longer than normal to process all of the submissions. In the mean-time, the state has released a notice that our current license will remain in effect and will be honored throughout the upcoming camp season.
Our team continues to meet and exceed all safety, staffing, and program standards, and we remain fully committed to providing a safe, high-quality, and Christ-centered experience for every child who comes to camp.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to our executive director, Kevin Ludlum, directly. Thank you for your continued trust, support, and prayers as we prepare for a great summer at Camp of the Hills!
