Overnight camps
At Forest Glen Springs, in Rosebud, Texas, we are now offering overnight camps. We believe that every child should get the chance to experience camp. There is something about leaping out of your comfort zone, facing fears, and making lifelong friends and memories that all culminate into the best week of summer. We also know that this environment, away from the distractions of the world, is where God really moves. We are thrilled to announce a brand-new overnight summer camp program for boys and girls that have completed 2nd through 11th grade!

Health and Safety
What happens in case of inclement weather?
The majority of a camper’s day is spent outside, which means that we are always watching the weather forecast. Our incredible counselors have “rainy day” plans already prepared for the occasional thunderstorm. If there are dangerous weather conditions like thunderstorms or tornado watches, we take campers indoors until it is clear to go back outside.

What do you do for campers with special eating considerations?
We honor and provide for almost every dietary restriction. Special diet requests/notes are a part of our secure online registration process. If you need to let us know about any special diets or notes for your campers, just give us a call at 936-295-7641 or email us at thuckaby@forestglen.org
How will my camper receive medication?
ALL medications need to be checked-in with the Camp Nurse at registration on opening day. Be sure to have instructions ready including dosage and times to be given. All medications must be in original packaging.
