OUTDOOR TEXAS CAMPS
The eight year history, and the future of Outdoor Texas Camps has been, and will continue to be dedicated to the belief that
understanding and enjoying the great outdoors is a very important part of every person’s life. The Outdoor Texas formula
includes (1) the best location and facilities available for each camp, (2) a complete and detailed course of study on each subject
taught, and (3) an experienced staff of Texas professionals to ensure success. Safety, learning, and fun are the goals of each
Outdoor Texas Camp.
Most Texas summer camps strive to become larger and larger, with many camps hosting hundreds if not thousands of campers
each summer. Outdoor Texas has a very different plan. Outdoor Texas’ goals are safety, fun, and learning, and Outdoor Texas
strongly believes that these goals are far more achievable with a small number of campers per camp. Outdoor Texas Camps
have between 12 and 24 campers per week. These small numbers have the following benefits; 1) personal attention and
safety are maximized, 2) one on one instructional time is greatly increased, 3) a family environment is generated - ensuring fun
and new relationships. Outdoor Texas is proud to offer the most unique camp experience available in Texas.
CAMP CURRICULUM All of the subjects and activities that are
a part of the Outdoor Texas Camps are researched, detailed, and
executed in the most professional manner possible. The great
outdoors of Texas and all of the hunting and fishing opportunities
that exist within the state provides an endless teaching potential for
the Outdoor Texas Camps. The camp activities are all designed to
maintain and achieve the goal of safety, learning, and fun.
CAMP INSTRUCTORS All Outdoor Texas Camp instructors
are selected based on (1) their knowledge of the subject, (2) their
field experience, and (3) their ability to communicate with the
campers in a positive manner. The Outdoor Texas staff is no doubt
the Best of the Best.
CAMP LOCATION The Outdoor Texas Camp locations are
selected on the basis that each represents the best possible camp
site in keeping with the Outdoor Texas goals of safety, learning, and
fun. Each camp site is dedicated to the subject and the activities of
that particular camp.

miles of the Llano River is the perfect location for this fly
fishing camp. The shallow waters and the deep pools
hold an abundance of aggressive bass and pan fish.

hour west of San Antonio, near Hondo, Texas, has been a

species of exotic breeds. These exotics number over
3,000 animals. The Triple 777 provides an unbelievable
