What do Camp Huawni and classic summer camp movie The Parent Trap have in common? They both hail from the 1960s, with quaint cabins, plenty of canoeing and crafts, and best of all, are tucked away in the woods, off the beaten path. You can picture it, right?

The nostalgic charm of East Texas’ throwback summer camp is what makes it special—and a fan favorite of kids from more than 13 states each summer. Camp Huawni is all about making sure kids are unplugged, outdoors, and having the time of their lives.

Camp Huawni’s refreshing mission:

• Simple fun is the most fun.
• We were made to play outdoors.
• Rich tradition provides consistency in an inconsistent world.
• Life is meaningful relationships.
• True significance and purpose begins and ends with our Creator.

A Summer Camp Worth Writing Home About

Camp Huawni takes every measure to ensure each kid knows how important they are, and that they’re in a safe, fun place where they can truly be themselves away from home. And parents love that it’s accredited by ACA and Ministry Safe. With over 55 years of serving kids at summer camp, a typical counselor-to-camper ratio of 3.2 to 1, and 600 acres of piney woods and cool shade (not to mention Miss Ada, the famous camp chef who cooks delicious, homecooked meals three times a day), it’s easy to see why you should send your kiddos here.

Get Cabin Fever

Nine girls’ cabins, five boys’ cabins, all AC-free. And the kids LOVE IT. Stretching out on their twin bunks after a full day of sun and fun, kids report liking being lulled to sleep by the buzz of fans and chirping crickets. Bonus: the mom in me loves that there are daily cabin inspections each morning after breakfast.

Another cabin extra that celebrates tradition and growing up (taken straight from the site): “Every year that you come back and move into an older cabin, you get to do a new cabin tradition. Cabin traditions for girls include The Princess Ball, Shaving Cream War, Movie Night at the Pool, Destination Sing Song, and Star Tripping. Cabin traditions for boys include Mission Impossible, Night Scavenger Hunt, Night Hike, and The Ultimate Pillow Fight.”

Countdown to Summer: 20+ Adventures for Every Interest

Camp Huawni’s “secret sauce” is a flexible but fun daily schedule that includes three outdoor activities in the morning and three in the afternoon, as well as a daily quiet time/rest period when your kid needs some down time. Below are some of the fun activities kids participate in daily:

• Basketball
• Critter (summer inflatables on the H-Pond)
• Frisbee golf
• Gaga ball
• Giant swing
