Since 1988, The Pines Catholic Camp has welcomed over 50,000 campers and countless guests to encounter Jesus and deepen their faith on 130 beautiful acres in Big Sandy, Texas. In 2024, we reached a new milestone, hosting more than 3,300 campers—our biggest summer yet! We also gave over 200 young adults the chance to grow through our missionary and summer staff programs. In the past year, another 3,400 visitors joined us for retreats, educational programs, and special events. That’s nearly 7,000 opportunities for hearts to be set on fire for Christ in just one year! None of this would be possible without YOUR prayers and support! |
