your best option to fill out your day. Additionally, you MUST purchase BOTH Special Passes. For Example,
if you want to do High Ropes AND Kayaking, you must purchase BOTH the “High Ropes” Pass AND the
“Wild About Waterfront” Passes for each person that is participating.

be asked to leave a session and no refunds will be given.
Do It Yourself Activities:
In addition to our staffed activities, we also offer unstaffed, DIY activities that can also be included in your Activity Pass. These
activities include:
Hiking: Take a hike through the woods using our Nature Trail; follow the path all the way down to the lake, following the lake
side, and finish your hike down at the beautiful waterfront. Take a copy of the nature trail leaflet with you to identify Camp Kachina or Texlake’s plants!
Scavenger Hunts: Camp is full of wonderful sights and sounds! Take a tour around camp and see if you can fill all the letters of
the alphabet in an Alphabet Scavenger Hunt, detect all the colors of the rainbow in a color Scavenger Hunt, or create your own
Scavenger Hunt!
Letterboxing: A mixture of treasure hunting, art, and navigation, letterboxing is a fun activity! Borrow the clues to Camp Kachina’s letterboxes and see if you can find the boxes hidden around camp to make your mark in the logbook!
Star Chart: In addition to the Star Party at night, dive further into outer space and learn more about the constellations! Borrow
a camp Star Chart to learn about how different cultures saw the stars!
Orienteering: Borrow a camp compass and instruction sheet to start learning the basics of this useful tool with your girls!
Pokemon Go: Are you on your way to becoming the greatest Poke-Master of them all? Bump your status by finding the
Pokemon on camp and catch them all!
Sports and Field Games: From Gaga to soccer to volleyball, borrow some camp sports equipment to have fun playing field
games with your group or invite new friends you meet at camp to join in the fun!
These DIY activities are a great way to fill an hour in between staffed activities and allow you the flexibility to fully customize your

Craft
We use harnesses and ropes to allow the participant to test her courage by climbing into the
sky and complete a challenge. You’ll even get
the chance to climb up into our crow’s nest to
get a bird’s eye view of Camp Texlake before
enjoying a quick ride back down to earth on our
zip line. High Ropes activities are more of an
individual challenge, but team participation and
support is always emphasized.

How to Have a Successful Campout:
Know the rules of the camp provided in this document. Follow them. Be comfortable with all weather conditions, bugs,
dirt, exercise, and delayed or “ruined” plans. If you are not comfortable with the basics of camping, that may be a sign
that you are not ready to camp, and neither is your group. Don’t expect the camp staff to bend/change the rules for
you. Practice your meals on a campfire before you come to camp. Have a backup cold meal in case the meal is burned,
dropped, or it is pouring rain. Pick up litter, even if it isn’t yours. Clean all areas that you use. If you are well trained
and prepared, you will have a good time.
Be respectful of the other groups around you. We teach our girls to be a friend to every camper and expect the same
from you. Contact your Camp Manager if you’re having concerns with another group.
The supplies that we furnish are not free for us, so please use them wisely (paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, electricity, water etc). By working together, we can keep camp as affordable as possible for everyone!
Please check the supply area upon arrival—there is one in every unit—to make sure you have enough supplies for your
weekend. Please let the Camp Manager know about any missing supplies.
Housekeeping: Throughout the camp outing, grease should be collected in a can, allowed to harden, and disposed of
with other garbage. Please do not pour grease in sinks. Dishwater should be strained, and disposed of away from the
unit shelter and at least 200 feet from the lake.
Activities run on Saturdays only from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an hour off for lunch. Camp staff will schedule the activities
to make the best use of the facilitators’ time. All Activities are on a First Come/First Served basis.
Activities at Camp require appropriate clothing. Close-toed, sturdy shoes (tennis shoes or boots) are required for all
activities. Dress for the weather! Activity times may be adjusted or cancelled depending on weather conditions. We will
refund activity fees only if the Camp Manager cancels them. Bring plenty of drinking water to all activities. Activities
may be shared with other groups.
Important Times To Remember:
Check-In Time
Check-in is from 6-9 PM on Friday unless other arrangements have been made. Your
Group Leader must check-in with the Camp Manager at the camp office before unloading your items.
Check-Out Time
Check-out is from 8 AM—12 PM on Sunday. Your Group Leader must check-out
with the Camp Manager before leaving camp, failure to do this results in loss
of deposit. All campers must be offsite by 1 PM.
Day Use
The Day Use timeframe is from 8:30 AM—6:00 PM on Saturday.
If you want to request different arrival or departure times from those above, please contact the Camp Manager at least 2 weeks
prior to your arrival and discuss possible alternative times. Groups with purchased activities interested in arriving/departing Saturday or having day campers participate in those activities MUST contact the Camp Manager at least 30 days prior to the campout or
activity times are not guaranteed to be scheduled for your group within your abbreviated time frame.
