Safari Overnight Camp
IT IS WITH SAD HEARTS…
…that we notify everyone that all Overnight Camp Sessions for 2020 have been officially cancelled. After consulting with our medical professionals, the Texas Department of Health Services, the CDC, and many of you, we have made the very difficult decision to cancel all Overnight Camp sessions for the summer of 2020. It breaks our heart and we know that it does the same for you. Please watch a video message from our president, Mike McDonell. Below is information to help guide you with questions you have. We will of course be available to assist you too.
We will miss each and every one of our campers but we will return next year and celebrate Safari, Echo, and Apex like we have never done before!

The most important factor in your child’s camp experience is the quality of their camp team. Without a doubt, we recruit, hire, train and maintain the most qualified and talented staff anywhere.

- Must have a driving desire to make a difference in the world

5 REASONS KIDVENTURE IS ‘SO MUCH MORE’
We believe camp isn’t just an opportunity to have fun, but a chance to grow strong in knowing you can do anything, be anything, and do so with great character. We have always believed that our ultimate goal is to help raise great kids. We simply choose to do it through the magic of camp
There is nothing more important than the quality, experience, and motivation of your kid’s camp counselor. It is the single most important reason your child will experience camp to its fullest potential. We pride ourselves on providing the best camp camp staff anywhere. And here’s a few reasons:
- All adult team. Most are Certified Teachers and Education Majors
- Must have a driving desire to make a difference in the world
- All possess a fanatical amount of spirit & energy
- All CPR/First Aid certification for Infant, Child, and Adult
- All complete state-approved Sexual Abuse Prevention course
- Every team member goes through annual criminal background and sex offender registry checks. Yearly.
We only take 25 girls and 25 boys each session. This means the quality of their experience is greater because they receive lots of attention. The more counselors with your child the more rewarding and safer your camp experience. Our ratio is 1:10
With over 25 years of summer camp experience, 30 campsites statewide, and thousands of kids and families having attended our camps, we’ve learned a thing or two about camp. And the most important thing we’ve learned, is you never stop improving what you are doing.
Our goal is to serve your entire family. We believe the best opportunity to help raise happy, and healthy kids, is to do it together.
