Specialized summer Camps
(scroll down to explore our Summer camp options)
Rather than offer a one-size-fits-all standard (and expensive) summer camp, this year Camp Tonkawa is tailoring specialized summer camps to your group. Through our 22 years we’ve developed a number of different day and weekend camps, and we draw from this experience when creating your personalized summer camp. The major expense of camp is in hiring staff, and the most difficult part of summer camp is finding staff. Our solution is to offer summer camps to established groups (scout troops, homeschool co-ops, church groups, and even family gatherings) who can come share the experience all together. To help make that happen, we ask that some group members volunteer to cover what a standard summer camp would charge for: cooking, supervision, first aid, and such. This blend of Camp Tonkawa staff and your group’s volunteers helps us offer our expertise at a much lower cost to you. Of course, we can adjust pricing if you need us to bring in some extra staff, too.
If you’re coming for all the fun of a traditional summer camp, we can do that! Or is your group focused on science? Then let’s take the pond science section from Nature Awareness Camps, add tree aging techniques from annual Arbor Day celebrations, and mix in medicinal plant knowledge from Native American Indian camp. Would your group rather focus on Outdoor Skills? Take archery and fishing techniques from Native American Indian Camp, add shelter making, fire skills, and lashings from Primitive Survival Skills, and compass skills and edible plants from Nature Awareness. Anything is possible, and we will work with you to craft just what you’re looking for. Just give our camp director April a call at 940-440-8382 to book a date and start creating a special summer camp just for your group!
