Everybody loves going to camp and Houston has a lot of options!  We have such a great community of businesses that put together some amazing Houston Summer Camps opportunities. In fact, it grew so large we now separate the camps out by type. And, we have dedicated pages for all the seasonal camps too!

The list is alive and always growing, we hope you find the perfect Houston Summer Camp for your family so be sure to bookmark so you can reference back!

All the information listed below specific to summer camps but if you can’t decide often companies offer camps at other times throughout the year. To check out a camp for a specific holiday break visit these directory pages: Spring Break, Thanksgiving, & Winter. Also, we have a directory of Overnight Sleepaway Camps – when your camper is ready!

A quick note about Houston Summer Camps links: Many camps are announced later than we, as parents, would like to plan for them! All camps listed below currently or previously offered a session camp. If the page is not up to date you have a few options: check back later, visit the camp’s social media (often camps are announced there first), or just reach out and ask – shoot them an email, a DM, or call.
