Camp Tonkawa Program Calendar

Our program calendar helps families and youth groups stay informed about upcoming opportunities to experience nature and develop outdoor skills. While our summer camps—held from Memorial Day through the Fourth of July—are our most popular events, we host horsemanship, survival skills, and scouting programs throughout the year. Because many of our programs have limited enrollment, we encourage families to check the calendar regularly and register early.

The dates listed below are TENTATIVE. Some of these camps are booked, some are suggestions on what works best for this month of the year, and for some the dates can be changed to meet your group’s needs. Field Trips during the week for specific Schools or Homeschool Groups (that are not open to others) are not listed.


PLEASE CALL US AT (940) 440-8382 OR EMAIL april@camptonkawa.org TO CONFIRM DATES. Hope to hear from you soon.
