It’s no secret that we think Austin is an awesome place for kids to grow up. And Camp 512 agrees 100%. This summer camp is designed to get kids in grades K-8 out exploring our lovely city through plenty of exciting fun adventures!

Camp 512 lets kids dive into Austin’s rich history, cultural diversity, and plethora of natural wonders. Camp 512 is a safe space for ALL children to form friendships, practice independence, take reasonable risks, learn about Austin, and have FUN! Each day is a new opportunity to explore something great about our hometown. Experienced teachers lead small groups on learning adventures in the form of engaging daily field trips.

A visit to the Camp 512 website will provide much more info as well as parent reviews, such as this one:

“What a fun camp, the kids had a blast and looked forward to a new local adventure everyday. I have lived in Austin a long time and I haven’t even done some of the things they did during the week. The staff were amazing and just a ton of fun. I would highly recommend this to anyone. The only ‘complaint’ was that the week went too fast!”
