Camp Balcones Springs

You’ll find Camp Balcones Springs (CBS) just 40 miles outside of Austin on a private 10-acre lake in Texas Hill Country. Founded in 1993 on Christian beliefs, CBS welcomes boys and girls 6-17 years old. Overnight sessions run for ten days, two weeks, or three weeks.

There’s plenty to discover at Camp Balcones Springs. The campground includes a private lake, barn, tree house, beachfront, and sports fields. Campers can sign up for activities such as ceramics, outdoor cooking, jewelry making, survival skills, woodworking, water sports, drama, and archery. In addition to learning valuable skills, children also learn how to connect with others and grow spiritually.

In addition to emphasizing Christian values, CBS encourages sustainability by teaching zero-waste practices and cooking camp meals with herbs and vegetables from the camp garden. The focus on character development, sustainability, and spirituality are what really sets this camp apart from the rest of the other Christian summer camps in Texas.
