What are the camp facilities like?

The Great Adventure Camp (GAC) is located at The Cat Spring Retreat in Cat Spring, Texas (45 minutes from Katy between Sealy and New Ulm). The facilities include air-conditioned cabins and buildings. We average 150 campers per week and 50 staff. Each counselor is assigned five to eight campers. All of our buildings and cabins are grouped in the same area.

Who can register for GAC?

GAC is a co-ed camp for children entering 4th - 9th grade in the fall after their camp summer. Camper and LIT registration dates will be announced later this year, but will be in early 2026.

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

Registration fees are NON-REFUNDABLE. 

If you need to cancel your registration, the camp balance of $650 is fully refundable up until April 1st. After April 1st, any cancellation allows for half of the camp balance to be refunded. After May 1st, any cancellation is non-refundable. 

What training do staff receive?

Counselors receive a one-week intensive training on childhood development, first-aid, emergency response, child abuse awareness and prevention, outdoor activities training, and more. All staff will have undergone a background and reference check. Most of our staff are former campers or staff members that know first-hand what the life changing camp week means to a camper.

Is there a doctor on-site?

There is a doctor on-site during session 1. For sessions 2 – 8, the doctor is on-call, and there is a paramedic on-site. Certified lifeguards are on duty at all swimming and lake activities. 

Is there a different theme for each camp session?

Yes, our counselors are responsible for deciding and creating each session's theme. We do not announce the theme until the first day of camp. Past themes have been things like Superheroes, Christmas in July, and Y2K!
