Celebrating 200,000 Campers!

Twenty-eight years, countless memories, and 200,000 campers later, Camp For All continues to transform lives.

On June 22, 2026, we celebrated an extraordinary achievement: Our 200,000th camper! Since opening our gates in Burton, Texas in 1998, Camp For All has provided children and adults with challenging illnesses, disabilities, or special needs a place where they can discover hope, build confidence, experience the joy of belonging, and create memories that last a lifetime.

This milestone is about far more than a number. Behind every camper experience is a story of courage, growth, and joy. For nearly three decades, campers and their families have found a supportive community where barriers are removed and possibilities are expanded.

The celebration

The celebration brought together our campers, families, co-founders, community leaders, donors, Partners, volunteers, and staff. Their shared commitment has created opportunities for hundreds of thousands of campers to experience the transformative power of Camp and all that it makes possible.

200,000 Campers… and Counting!

The milestone was made even more special by celebrating alongside campers from Dreamcatcher and Rainbow Connection, two Camp For All Partners that have been part of our story since the very beginning. For decades, these organizations have helped bring children and teens affected by cancer and blood disorders to Camp. We couldn’t have imagined more meaningful campers to celebrate with!

As we celebrate this achievement, we’re equally excited about the future. With the opening of our second cutting-edge barrier-free Camp in Texas, Camp For All Chappell Hill, in summer 2027, Camp For All will expand our capacity to serve even more campers and families across Texas and beyond, creating greater access to life-changing Camp experiences.

Here’s to the next 200,000 campers!
