Since 1967, Camp Champions has served thousands of students as campers at their summer camp. Realizing the importance of outdoor and away from home experiences, Camp Champions opened their Outdoor School in 1996. Over the years, we have dedicated our time and our resources to spreading the camp experience to as many students as possible. We have worked with SCOPE, helping to send campers to local Texas camps. We have partnered with agencies and schools in Austin, Dallas and San Antonio to source deserving scholarship campers. But we know we can do more. Over the past 5 years, Champions has found itself giving out over $200,000 in scholarships a year, we like to refer to them as “camperships”, helping out families who have hit hard times and working with families who never would have dreamed of having a summer camp experience.
In 2012 we decided we had greater work to do, we needed to be more intentional about our contributions to scholarships at our own camp, and to our impact on a local and state level. Our 501(c)(3) became a reality in 2016, and we are looking forward to organizing our resources and ideas to focus on serving youth in Texas.
