Camp Deer Run
We are a Christian summer camp in East Texas that exists to provide a camping experience where God is seen, His love is felt, and lives are transformed into the image of Jesus Christ.
Overnight Camp
Camp Deer Run provides an energetic, Christ-centered atmosphere for over 1,300 campers each summer. Camp Deer Run is not just an ordinary camp for kids. People, young and old, refer to Camp Deer Run as “home” and as a place that greatly impacted their walk with God. During each session campers have fun together as they enjoy non-stop time with God. Campers leave behind a world of constant connection and distraction as they enter into an “all about Jesus” atmosphere where they can simply experience God.
Pee Wee Day Camp
“I am a Pee Wee! A mighty mighty Pee Wee…” It is easy to find our Pee Wees during the summer, you hear them chanting their song as they move through activities. Swimming, crafts and Bible lessons are all a part of the fun. Pee Wee camp is a great opportunity for Camp Deer Run to partner with you to help your children establish a foundation in Christ.
Red Carpet Movie Premiere
Over the past year, we’ve been working with a spectacular filmmaker to tell the story of Camp Deer Run in a way that it’s never been told before. The old days of Deer Run will be brought to life, and the characters that built and shaped it over the years will tell their story. On April 6th, the powerful story of God and His people at Camp Deer Run will be told in its entirety for the first time: the humble beginnings, the near shutdown, the miraculous revival, and the continued work of God’s provision.
