Away from Home Summer Camps

My step son is 11 and will complete elementry school this year. My husband and I want to send him to a one or two week away from home summer camp. We think he is old enough to really enjoy the activities. Can anyone recommend a good, safe, fun camp that I can look into?

Many thanks!
J.

What can I do next?

My sister sends her oldest daughter to Camp Kanakuk. He will either send her youngest there this year or next. My niece loves the camp. There are several different types of camps and it is for boys and girls.

Frontier Camp. Our church sends a gruop of children there every year.

My daughter went to Camp Cho-Yeh near Lake Livingston when she was that age. She had a ball. They had a "preview" weekend in April, don't know if they have another or not. It's a Christian camp - Presbyterian, I think. They do have a web site, you may want to check them out - although I believe they fill up fast. They've been around for YEARS.

Camp Cho Yeh in Livingston. My son went there for years, and loved it! http://www.cho-yeh.org/DesktopDefault.aspx

It's only about 1 hour north of Houston. They post photos online daily, so you can keep up with what they are doing.

my cousins grew up on Camp Good News and I always wanted to attend...my parents never let me so I hated the summer because they would come back w/all these fun stories....all i ever did was sit at home and wait for school to start.....

check out the ymca. they do some overnight camps that sound really fun.

Camp Coyote. It's up by Huntsville, so it's not to far away. My daughter loved that camp. Good Luck.

My son has gone to the YMCA's Camp Cullen the last three years and will go again this summer. He loves it! He also did his first overnight camp experience at YMCA's Camp Pine Tree.
