Anchor Campers in Joy & Confidence

At The Pines Catholic Camp, faith and fun go hand in hand. Since 1988, every summer thousands of young people step away from screens and stress to encounter Christ, build authentic friendships, and grow in confidence. You can help anchor them in something deeper.

Last North Texas Giving Day, our community came together and raised $125,000 to make this mission possible. Thank you for your generosity, and for being part of something that truly transforms lives. 

A Generation in Need and a Place That Meets It

Today’s youth face rising loneliness, anxiety, and disconnection. Camp gives them a place to rediscover joy, belonging, and purpose. It's not just a week away. It is a launching point for lifelong faith and resilience.

Leave a Lasting Impact

How we are transforming lives through faith, friendship, and the Eucharist:

  • 3,100+ campers welcomed this summer

  • Daily prayer, sacraments, and Adoration under the stars

  • Teen campers leave believing Jesus is present in the Eucharist

  • Confidence, friendships, and real encounters with Christ


Where Your Gift Makes a Difference

Help us raise $150,000 to shape the next generation of joyful, faith-filled leaders

  • Spiritual Leadership & Accompaniment 

  • Staff Training & Formation 

  • Adventure & Ropes Courses

Give Today. Anchor a Life in Christ.

Every gift brings us closer to a summer where even more campers are seen, known, and formed in faith. Help us raise $150,000 by September 18 to make Summer 2026 our most impactful yet.

With a firmly Christ-centered and relational ministry, The Pines provides a space for the transformation of hearts and an embrace of the Gospel and the Christian life. From the quiet of our St. Francis Chapel to the soaring thrill of the double-zipline, we believe that the Christian life can be lived fully with joy and holiness! 

It is our mission to see the Kingdom of God come to life through the faith, fun, and friendship that we share at The Pines. 

Will you join us in our mission? 



"An otherwise random week of summer played 
a major role in giving me a relationship with the God who willed me into being. That is why I support The Pines." 
- Former Pines Camper
“I always feel a closer connection to God and the Catholic faith after my week at The Pines.” 
– Fire Village (high school) Camper
“I feel so close to God here.”

Mission

Empower every camper and staff member to encounter God and to live his/her faith with joy and confidence through a distinctly Catholic camp ministry built on faith formation and fellowship set within the beauty of God's creation.

Needs

This year, gifts will be used to help us improve our grounds and facilities. We plan to improve areas like the pool, Lake LouAnn, and more.
