It’s Not About Holding On, It’s About Letting Go
Since 1994, Safari Overnight Camp has been one of the most rewarding and dynamic summer camps in Texas. Our camp mission is simple: provide kids with the opportunities to learn important life lessons through adventure, teamwork and just pure fun! When it comes to overnight camp for our younger campers, there simply isn’t a more rewarding experience out there. Be part of a 25 year tradition and give your child an adventure they will remember forever!
“Cecilia had a wonderful time. She said it was “the best time of her life”. She literally didn’t stop rambling about it all from the moment we picked her up until the moment she went to bed. I’m just floored by the details – which shows what an impact every moment had on her.”
-Angela, Overnight Camp Mom

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.
