BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Camp Olympia is a private, overnight Texas summer camp for boys and girls ages 6-16 offering one- and two-week camp sessions and over 45 activities. Its beautiful location on Lake Livingston in Trinity, Texas is the perfect setting for fun, friends, and adventure. Camp Olympia strives to create an environment where campers can be themselves, grow in confidence and independence, discover new qualities and skills, and learn the true essence of friendship and community.
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Dance, Theater, Fine Arts/Crafts, Video/Filmmaking/Photography, Gymnastics, Cheerleading, Basketball, Football, Baseball, Soccer, Golf, Horses/Equestrian, Swimming, Tennis, Waterfront/Aquatics, Volleyball, and more.
CAMP LOCATION: Camp Olympia is located on beautiful Lake Livingston in the piney woods of East Texas of Trinity, Texas. Trinity is about 100 miles north of Houston, 200 miles south of Dallas-Ft. Worth area, and 200 miles east of Austin. Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) is only 90 miles from camp, which makes the trip to Camp Olympia convenient for campers that are from other areas of Texas, out-of-state and out-of-country!
CAMP FACILITIES: Camp Olympia has outstanding facilities, including a swimming pool, challenge course, as well as fields and courts for many activities. While most of the activities take place on a 101-acre location, camp has access to hundreds of additional acres of private land. We improve the facility each year with additions and enhancements so campers are always in for a treat when they return. Additions within the last 5 years include our new climbing wall at our swimming pool, new lakeside Olympiatheater that is perfect for Talent Show, New Cluster of Cabins (our largest cluster of cabins ever!), 2-Person Zip Line at the Challenge Course, a Water Balloon Battle Station at the pool, and Aqua Inflatables for both the pool and waterfront! Camp just keeps getting better and better!!!
While Olympia is located on the breezy shores of Lake Livingston, it does get warm in Texas during the summer. Unlike most of the other camps in Texas, all of the cabins, bathrooms, our dining hall, and many of the enclosed areas are air conditioned. Air conditioned cabins make sleeping at night much more comfortable!
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Camp Olympia has gone above and beyond many private camps to demonstrate our commitment to safety by complying with the accreditation standards of the American Camping Association (ACA). To earn accreditation, we comply with over 200 health, safety, and program quality standards. During our latest accreditation visit, we made a perfect score complying with all 200+ standards.
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: The Camp Olympia Leadership Program (CLP) is the pinnacle of an Olympia camper’s tenure at camp and a once-in-a-lifetime experience! It is a program for prior Camp Olympia campers who are sixteen years of age by July 1.
The CLP Program offers a unique summer camp adventure as it combines a Camp Olympia experience in Texas with a week-long Colorado adventure, including: leadership training, lifeguard and first aid training and certification, rock-climbing, team ropes course and initiatives, whitewater rafting, and climbing a mountain together as a team. This special camp program focuses on building leaders, fostering teamwork and improving self-confidence.
YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: The camp fun at Camp Olympia continues after summer! There are many special events planned throughout the year for kids, teens, and parents too! Whether you are interested in learning more about Camp Olympia or have been a part of the Camp Olympia family during its 50+ year history, we encourage you to join us at one or more of our events throughout the year. We have parties, family camps, alumni reunions, and so much more!
