Welcome to the new season of Camp on the Lake! Your camper will begin thier adventure at one of our gateway Branches and travel by air conditioned bus to the newly organized Camp on the Lake.  From water sports and archery to hiking and horseback riding, your camper will have the opportunity to experience the unique world of Outdoor Day Camps. Camp on the Lake is located at: 709 Highland Village Road, Highland Village, TX 75067. Visit www.camponthelake.org for more information and to register online.

Your camper will begin each week with Opening Ceremony, the time to reconnect with their new friends, meet the camp counselors, and finally find out what the Theme of the Week will be!   From there your camper will join their group-mates and counselors in group building games, and experience some of the activities that Camp on the Lake has to offer! Archery, Arts & Crafts, Boating, Camp Games, Themed Weeks and much more!

For our younger campers (6-8 years old) we will offer a “Taste of Adventure”!  We recognize that our younger campers build a sense of security from remaining with new friends and “their” counselors for a week…or even more.  Our “Adventurers” will visit our program activities…getting a “taste” of camp.

For our older campers (9-12 year olds) we will offer camper-choice progressive clinics.  Each Monday, the older campers will select 3 program areas which they would like to learn more about.  Over the next three days, the campers will spend their afternoons in activities which will build upon the previous day’s lesson.  From sailing and marksmanship to jewelry making and Horse husbandry, the older campers will have a chance to choose activities which may spark an interest for a lifetime!

Each child will need to bring a sack lunch, water bottle, swimming gear, and sunscreen to camp everyday.  Please be aware that no refrigeration is available and that campers must wear close toed shoes to camp everyday.

Camp/Transportation Hours:
