HOMESCHOOLERS

public & Private schools

Camp Tonkawa was founded by a family of homeschoolers, so we welcome and specifically cater to homeschoolers at any of our regular camps throughout the year. In addition to that, we can plan Field Trips for your Homeschool Group to cover a wide variety of themes. Some examples: Texas Wildlife, Habitat Study, Native American Indians, Nature in Art, Birds, Arbor Day, and even Harry Potter (Herbology isn’t just for the books!).


“Our family had THE BEST time spending all day outside learning about the Indian culture! The kids learned so much about music, dancing, archery, throw sticks, communication and more! It was very thorough and engaging! The kids were encouraged to be hands on and interact with the directors, who were great story tellers and kept the kids attention! It was by far the best field trip!”
