Thanks to the Lions Clubs of Texas, many children with physical disabilities can look forward to an experience that all children dream about - going to summer camp!

The Texas Lions Camp in Kerrville offers special camping programs that serve children who have physical disabilities and type 1 diabetes.

This summer, Dayna Alston attended Texas Lions Camp in Kerrville, Texas. Dayna was sponsored by Lion Nanette Mikes of the Blanco Lions Club.

The Texas Lions Camp offers camping sessions to children ages 7 to 16 who have visual, hearing, or physical disabilities and 8 to 15 for those who have type 1 diabetes.

The camp offers a wide variety of activities for camper’s enjoyment, including arts and crafts, field sports, riding horses, swimming, theater, and camping out overnight. The camp is a nonprofit organization, funded by the Lions of Texas and private donations. Children attend the camp at no cost to themselves or their families.
