Come join us at the 2021 Texas Preteen Camp for fun-filled days in the summer sun, making friends and learning about God’s wonderful way of life! In the heart of the
pinewoods of East Texas, Lone Star Camp serves as a beautiful facility with air-conditioned meeting rooms, dormitories, cabins, and family housing, all with private
bathroom and shower facilities. The large gymnasium hosts indoor courts, as well as a number of classrooms. There is also a 25-acre lake, which provides a lovely
setting, and pairs nicely with the 25-meter pool! Hone your skills and learn a few new ones, as you enjoy the wide variety of activities, music, sports, games,
of course, the ever-popular Fun Show!
