Why Families from Texas Love Camp Huawni — A Hidden Gem in the Piney Woods
There’s something magical about summer in Texas—the sound of cicadas in the evening, the glow of campfires under the stars, and the feeling of adventure that fills every warm, sunny day. For generations, families from across the Lone Star State have chosen Camp Huawni, an overnight summer camp nestled in the Piney Woods of East Texas, to give their kids an unplugged, unforgettable summer experience.
A True Texas Summer Experience
At Camp Huawni, campers get to experience the best of the great outdoors—rolling hills, tall pine forests, and private lake fronts. It’s the kind of summer that feels timeless: swimming, hiking, fishing, and roasting s’mores under a canopy of stars. This is Texas summer the way it was meant to be lived.
A Short Drive, a Big Adventure
Located near Nacogdoches, Camp Huawni is an easy drive from cities like Houston, Dallas, and Shreveport. Parents love that it’s close enough for comfort, yet far enough for campers to feel independent and immersed in the camp experience. Every summer, families from across Texas make the trip to discover why Camp Huawni feels like a second home.
Friendships That Outlast the Summer
One of the most special things about Camp Huawni is the friendships that form here. Without screens or social media distractions, campers connect face-to-face, laugh together, and build bonds that last far beyond the summer. Many Huawni campers stay friends for life — and return year after year to see the same familiar faces that make camp feel like family.
Unplugged and Fully Engaged
Camp Huawni is proudly screen-free—a place where kids rediscover the joy of playing outside, trying new things, and being fully present. Whether it’s conquering the ropes course, canoeing on the lake, or singing at singsong, every moment is designed to build confidence, character, and lifelong memories.
