Our Mission: The primary purpose of the Camp is to provide, without charge, a camp for physically disabled,
hearing/vision impaired, and diabetic children from the State of Texas, regardless of race, religion or national
origin. Our goal is to provide an atmosphere wherein campers will learn the “Can Do” philosophy and be
allowed to achieve maximum personal growth and self-esteem.
Camp Profile: The Texas Lions Camp is recognized as a non-profit corporation, under section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Service Code. The Campe is accredited by the American Camping Association and is
licensed by the Texas Department of Health. The Camp was chartered in 1949 in response to the terrible
polio epidemic that forever changed the lives of so many Texas children. Since that time, the Texas Lions
Camp has dynamically changed to include children who have all manner and types of physical disabilities,
diabetes and cancer. Today we are serving more children than at any other time in our history with over 1,500
children per summer attending the Camp.
