Where Camp Tradition Meets Christmas Cheer
At Camp Huawni, tradition isn’t just something we talk about—it’s something we live. From the moment a camper arrives beneath the tall pines of East Texas, they step into a story that’s been unfolding for generations. And during the Christmas season, that love of tradition feels especially close to our hearts.
Christmas, much like camp, is about slowing down. It’s about gathering together, telling stories, laughing loudly, and remembering what truly matters. At Huawni, those same values shape everything we do.
Traditions That Feel Like Home
One of the things families tell us again and again is that Camp Huawni feels like a second home. That doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through meaningful traditions—shared meals, songs that echo through the trees, and moments that feel simple yet unforgettable.
At Christmas, we’re reminded why traditions matter so much. They create continuity in a busy world. They connect generations. Just like holiday rituals passed down through families, Huawni traditions are handed from counselor to camper, from sibling to sibling, year after year.
A Season of Gratitude & Togetherness
Christmas invites reflection, gratitude, and generosity—values that are woven deeply into the Huawni experience. We’re grateful for our campers who bring energy and joy, our staff who pour their hearts into every summer, and our Huawni families who carry our legacy forward.
Just as the holidays bring families around the table, camp brings kids together in a screen-free, nature-filled environment where friendships are formed through shared experiences, laughter, and love.
Carrying the Spirit Year-Round
While Christmas only comes once a year, the spirit behind it—joy, tradition, and togetherness—lives on at Camp Huawni every summer. We believe kids grow best when surrounded by meaningful traditions and a community that feels rooted and safe.
As we celebrate this Christmas season, our hearts are full as we look ahead to another summer of singing, storytelling, and time-honored traditions under the piney woods sky.
From our Huawni family to yours, Merry Christmas. May your days be filled with warmth, wonder, and traditions worth holding onto.
