Opening and Closing Day FAQs

Is there a Lost & Found?

Yes, each camp has a lost and found. Label everything with your camper’s name to make it easier to find your lost items!

My camper forgot their lunch or water bottle. Can I drop it off?

Yes. Bring it to the Welcome Center at our New Braunfels property and the main office at Camp Travis, and we’ll get it to your camper.

Can parents visit the cabin on Opening Day?

To help with smooth transitions, we ask parents to say goodbyes in the drop-off line on Opening Day. Your camper’s coach will greet them in line and walk them back to their cabin. Our coaches are pros at helping campers settle in quickly and comfortably!

When can I visit the Camp Store?

Parents can visit the Camp Store on Closing Day after picking up their camper. Campers will have an opportunity to visit the store with their cabin one time during their session.
