Texas Lions Camp
The Stephenville Lions Club is a strong supporter of the Texas Lions Camp with all of the proceeds of one of our major fundraisers designated for the camp. Last year, North Texas Lions sponsored 27 handicaped and 13 diabetic campers. The Stephenville Lions Club sponsored 7 handicaped and 3 diabetic children.
The Texas Lions Camp is a residential camping facility for children with physical disabilities, type 1 diabetes and cancer. The Camp is located on over 500 acres in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, and is designed to introduce the "Can Do" philosophy to children dealing with special medical conditions.
Children with special needs from all over the State of Texas are invited to attend one of 9 weeks, which we hope will become one of their life-long childhood memories. A week designed for fun, exploration and challenge.
The Camp is especially designed for campers who have been newly diagnosed with diabetes. Diabetes management training and education are provided to campers through a medical staff working under the supervision of an on-sight medical doctor.
Children from ages 7 through 16 are elidigible at no cost to them or to their families.
For further information, visit the Texas Lions Camp Website.
If you would like to have a child considered for the camp, please send a message to The Stephenville Lions.
