Register by the Friday before the week you wish to attend!
Week 1 (June 8–12) | Survivor Week: The Great Challenge
The Challenge: Does your camper have what it takes to lead their tribe to victory? This week is all about strategy, stamina, and spirit. Campers will be divided into "tribes" to design custom team flags and develop secret handshakes. They’ll navigate obstacle courses on our outdoor tracks, learn basic wilderness navigation, and compete in head-to-head challenges to earn "immunity" for their group. It’s a high-energy week that builds leadership and teamwork in a fun, competitive environment.
ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE FOR WEEK 1Week 2 (June 15–19) | Messy Madness: The Ultimate Sensory Escape
The Experience: We’re breaking all the "don’t get dirty" rules! This week is a sensory explosion designed for kids who love to create without limits. We’ll be hosting giant paint-splatter sessions, building "volcano" color explosions, and mastering the art of the perfect slime. From shaving cream wars to chalk-art murals that cover our outdoor spaces, your child will come home tired, happy, and needing a bath. Recommended Attire: Please send your camper in clothes that have seen better days!

The Big Splash: Beat the Texas heat with our most popular week of the summer! We’re turning the HWC outdoor area and pool into a total splash zone! Beyond daily pool time, campers will race down massive inflatable waterslides, engage in epic water balloon battles, and gear up for water gun wars on the lawn. The week culminates in a Friday Splash Party featuring icy snow cones and professional face painting. (Includes custom tie-dye shirt project)..

Campers will conduct "glow experiments" by creating DIY neon lava lampsand exploring chemical reactions with glow-in-the-dark slime. Our creative studios will be filled with neon paints and blacklights, allowing campers to see their artwork in a whole new light. (Includes custom tie-dye shirt project).

We’ll dive into "Space Science" by mixing up batches of radioactive-looking alien goo. The week-long investigation peaks on Friday as campers use clues to unmask which of our counselors is actually a visitor from another planet!
Launch into Orbit: Register for Week 5Week 6 (July 13–17) | Story Week: Where Legends Are Made
