Because of You
Campers Dream Bigger and Do More!
You help turn barriers into breakthroughs, giving campers the courage to try, the confidence to grow, and the joy of discovering what’s possible. There was plenty to celebrate at Camp For All this summer as we welcomed our 200,000th camper! Campers from Dreamcatcher, in partnership with McLane Children’s Baylor Scott & White Health, and Rainbow Connection, led by Childhood Cancer Connection, were with us to mark this major milestone.

It’s Fall Ahead for Camp For All Fall is in full swing at Camp For All, and we’re loving every minute of it! We’re welcoming campers to Camp For All Burton every week, and with each group comes opportunities to experience hope, confidence, and belonging. One camper, Parker, couldn’t wait to finish her project at Justin’s Barn for Arts & Crafts because she had her sights set on our zipline. When asked if she was nervous, she replied, “I love doing it!” Watching Parker ride the zipline at least four times (that’s right, four!) with so much confidence and energy is exactly what we hope every camper takes home from Camp. We’re also looking forward to our upcoming events and activities, and I hope you’ll join us along the way. On October 8, we’ll gather in Brenham for a Blueprint Bash Gala at The Fireman’s Training Center. On January 23, we’ll roll out the red carpet in Houston at the Camp For All Double Feature Gala at The Revaire. And on April 10, we’ll take adventure to new heights with Camp For All Goes Over the Edge at The Woodlands Tower at The Waterway. There’s another reason we’re looking ahead with such excitement: the opening of Camp For All Chappell Hill is getting closer every day! Our second barrier-free Camp in Texas will build on the remarkable legacy of Camp For All Burton, creating even more possibilities for campers with challenging illnesses, disabilities, or special needs and the nonprofit Partners who serve them. There is so much ahead, and I couldn’t be more excited about what we’ll accomplish together with your continued support. The best is yet to come!

Coming to Camp is the best. You get to hang out with your friends, meet new people, and have so much fun. The second you get here, you just know it’s going to be a cool week. We’re really thankful to everyone who makes Camp happen because we love it here! — The Parish School Carruth Center Campers A camp for children with social and learning differences
The Countdown to Camp For All Chappell Hill Continues!
Momentum is building fast, and the progress is exciting to see. The eight-foot-wide sidewalks are in, the lake bottom is prepared and filling with water, and progress continues on the Lazy River. Every day brings us closer to the moment when campers can experience it all. August was a BIG month at Camp For All Chappell Hill! The camper cabins and Equine Barn are officially complete, and our horses are already preparing for their new home with the team at Camp For All Burton. Next up is the Pavilion, on track for completion in October. We’re incredibly grateful to the generous donors helping turn this vision into reality. Your support is making it possible to build a place where even more campers can experience the magic of Camp. Scan the QR code to see our progress!
Camper Enrique For Enrique, a devastating accident in Guatemala changed his life in an instant. After a high-voltage electrical shock caused severe burns, he lost his arm at the shoulder. Yet through such an unimaginable experience, Enrique held tightly to his dreams of returning to school and one day becoming an agricultural engineer. At Shriners Children’s Texas, Enrique found expert care, rehabilitation, and a team committed to helping him build his future. But his healing journey reached beyond the hospital. Through Shriners Children’s Texas, Enrique discovered something everyone deserves: a place to belong. At Camp For All as a Love Without Limits camper, Enrique wasn’t defined by his injury. He was a camper, surrounded by people who welcomed, encouraged, and celebrated him. Enrique had the confidence to try new things, explore, and simply be a teenager.
Camper Amy For Amy, Camp For All began with a poem and an invitation to share it. During Camp Dermadillo, hosted by Made A Masterpiece, a nonprofit supporting children, teens, and families affected by skin conditions, Amy brought a poem she had written. When invited to share it with fellow campers around the campfire, she never imagined where those words would lead. That moment sparked something special. Amy’s poem became a children’s book, See Me, bringing her creativity and imagination to life on every page. But Amy didn’t forget where the story began. When her family received copies of the book, they immediately thought of Camp For All. Amy wanted the books to have a home in the Camp library, so her story could return to where she first shared it and inspire other campers to dream, create, and share their own stories. Amy’s story started around a campfire. Now, her words will live on at Camp For All for generations of campers to discover.
