Our family has been immensely impressed with this camp, and I have already recommended it to friends and family.

Several of the counselors found my husband and me at pickup to compliment our daughter. The entire staff deserve abundant kudos, actually.

Thank you for helping her to make memories to last a lifetime. We are huge fans of KidVenture!

THREE OPTIONS FOR THE ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME

Kidventure provides three overnight camp programs. Select the camp for your child below and learn more!

Quest

Ages 8-12 / 9 Days

Like our traditional Safari Camp, we only take 50 kids, campers operate in one of our four tribes, and activities are a bit more ‘high adventure’. In addition to the activities, the session is also longer at 9 days affording our campers additional opportunities not experienced at Safari.

THIS IS SERIOUS FUN…

Once you’ve been a Kidventure camper, your life is never quite the same. You’ve had fun and adventure you may have never thought possible. You’ve tried new things and grown to know yourself better. You’ve built strong relationships with your counselors and fellow campers. From all that, you’ve gained skills and created memories that you carry with you for the rest of your life. But most of all, you just can’t wait to do it all again.

For 31 years, Kidventure’s Overnight Camp has been an experience like none other. Now, we’ve expanded our offerings serving our families and their kids from ages 8 to 16. Because the greatest lessons we learn at overnight camp are the ones we take with us for the rest of our lives.

Overnight Camp FAQs

Safety is always our first priority. All of our Overnight Camp facilities are located on high ground and outside of floodplains, and our staff is trained in emergency preparedness. For parents who want full details, please see our Severe Weather Preparedness Guide.

We communicate with parents on a daily basis. In the event of any significant weather or schedule change, updates are provided promptly through email and our camp app.

At Kidventure Overnight Camp, we believe camp isn’t just an opportunity to have fun - it’s a chance to grow strong in knowing you can do anything, be anything, and do so with great character. The activities we do, from zip lines to kayaking, are simply a vessel to teach teamwork, leadership, and resilience.

  • Fun, Social & Friendship: Evening parties, social events, and lasting friendships.
  • Adventure: Zip lines, high ropes, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, rock climbing, and more.
  • Team & Leadership: Small group “Tribes” and character-driven activities help kids build teamwork and leadership skills.

Safari is a shorter term consisting of six days. Quest is longer at nine days. Both are designed for campers ages 8-12 and both have a similar format and objective. Quest involves a little more ‘high adventure’ than Safari and takes place at our camp in Rocksprings. Safari takes place at Mo-Ranch.

For Safari, campers stay in boy’s or girl’s dorms. These dorms are air-conditioned, bunk bed style lodging. Restroom and Shower facilities are located within the dorms. In addition, all bedding and bath towels are provided at Safari. For Quest and Echo, campers stay in separate boys and girls’ air-conditioned cabins with restroom and shower facilities. Campers must bring their own bedding for Quest and Echo.

Tribes are coed. For Safari and Quest, we divide our campers into four tribes, (Bear, Eagle, Buffalo, and Turtle). These tribes are by age and consist of boys and girls. Tribes are a function of our activities during the day and are separate from cabin assignments. Echo has two tribes, Donoma: Boys and Girls Ages 13-14, and Miakoda: Boys and Girls Ages 15-16.

 Yes, we provide transportation from Dallas, Houston, and Austin. Campers can be picked up and dropped off at designated locations in these cities to make traveling to camp easy and convenient.

Camp is about getting away from home and creating a new experience that fosters independence and confidence. Unless there is sickness or injury, we don’t call home. We do communicate each evening with a nightly email wrapping up our day and we will post images and videos to the Camp App.

Camp is about getting away and creating valuable relationships and memories. Mobile devices are definitely not allowed because of this reason.

Your Camp Packet that you will receive in May will have a Packing List in it. This checklist will provide you with everything your camper needs to go to camp successfully.

Yes, virtually! We host a Camp Meet and Greet each summer prior to Overnight Camp beginning. It is a Google Meet where campers, parents, and staff all get together online to talk about camp, tell stories, answer questions, and just meet one another. That date for 2023 is June 21st in the evening. A formal invitation will be sent to you with your Camp Packet in May.

On your registration form, there are fields for food allergies. With this information, we will work with you and our chef to create a meal plan that provides your camper with great-tasting food that is appropriate based on their allergies. This includes dairy-free, gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian.

Prior to camp, we will reach out to you to discuss the plan for your child’s medical condition. This might include a medicine dosage schedule or anything else we will need to plan for or scale for. We ask that you be specific in your registration form and outline any conditions that we need to be aware of.
