Just east of Austin nestled along the Colorado River and the Lost Pines, is your child’s summer home away from home. With 1,100 acres of pine forests, box canyons and post oak meadows to explore, McKinney Roughs Nature Park is the natural place for your child to discover the wonders of the outdoors in a safe, fun and educational day camp setting. Campers investigate ponds, meadows, forests and the Colorado River using tools like binoculars, insect nets, dip nets and more. Register your child for the whole summer and they will experience something new each week! 8 weekly sessions Monday thru Friday beginning June 14th.

Camp Tonkawa: Ages 6 - 7 Campers explore the amazing, diverse environment of McKinney Roughs in a safe and stimulating setting. Our well-trained staff lead children through hands-on learning, live animal presentations, nature hikes, crafts, games and nature studies.

Camp Comanche: Ages 8 - 9 Campers discover the world around them as they combine outdoor exploration, science and nature activities. Under the watchful eye of camp staff, kids learn wilderness skills, raft the Colorado River, climb a 40-foot- rock wall and swim at nearby Bastrop State Park.

Camp Caddo: Ages 10 - 12 Campers connect with the natural world on adventurous studies of geology, hydrology, botany and more. Campers raft the Colorado, swim at Bastrop State Park and experience team-building and personal challenges on our high ropes challenge course led by our ropes-certified staff.

Camp CIT (Counselors-in-training): Ages 13 - 16 CITs embark a journey of self-discovery and friendship as they learn skills in leadership and mentoring while being mentored themselves. CITs will develop their naturalist skills; meet in small groups to plan and implement a service project; assist and mentor younger campers; experience low and high challenges and raft the Colorado River. (Scholarships available for qualifying 16 year olds).
