Where a better youth arises — long days and tall pines, two weeks at a time, deep in the Piney Woods of East Texas.
Every Huawni story starts with a first summer. See what those two weeks look like — from packing the trunk to pickup-day hugs.
The Huawni Way
Nestled in the Piney Woods of East Texas, Camp Huawni still runs the way great camps always have — outdoors, unhurried, and screen-free. Six decades on, summer here feels the way you remember it: wood cabins, lake mornings, real friendships, and simple fun.
Discover what makes Camp Huawni uniqueRich Tradition · Since 1965
If you went to camp as a kid, you remember it — wooden cabins under tall pines, flagpole mornings, stories after supper, two weeks that felt like a world of their own. That camp still exists. The same family has kept Huawni gloriously old-school for three generations, because rich tradition provides consistency in an inconsistent world.
Same lake. Same lawn. Same stories. Their turn.

Safety at Camp
Worry-free camping is the product of systems, not luck. Every layer of camp — who we hire, how we train, what we inspect — is built to one uncompromising standard, so parents can hand us what matters most with confidence.
The Highlight Reel
Our Summer Staff
Around 50 college-aged leaders make the cut each summer — every one interviewed in person, background-checked, MinistrySafe-trained, and prepared through 13 days of on-site training before the first camper arrives. That’s a 3:1 camper-to-staff ratio your kids will call family.
