Welcome to

Camp Dallas

“Camp Dallas exists to create moments of peace, belonging, and hope for kids who need it most.”

Guiding Young Hearts In Healing

Camp Dallas was created in memory of a young man named Dallas—gone too soon in his teenage years. His parents, devastated but determined, chose to carry his name forward by helping kids.

This isn’t just a camp.
It’s a promise—that no child has to walk their story alone.
Every tent we pitch, every fishing pole we cast, every fire we build—it all carries Dallas’s name and the belief that one moment of hope can change a life forever.

Camp Dallas was born from loss.

Dallas was a bright, thoughtful, funny young man—with battles he carried mostly in silence. After losing him in his teen years, his family made a quiet promise: to turn grief into a place where other kids could heal.

This isn’t just a tribute; It’s a mission. A movement. A sacred invitation.

To listen harder.
To stay longer.
To help youth believe in themselves.

What Makes Camp Dallas Different

We won’t claim to be the biggest, boldest camp out there.
What sets Camp Dallas apart—and what you’ll feel in every moment…

Built from heartbreak. Powered by love.
Camp Dallas exists because a family refused to let pain win.

Presence over programming.
It’s not just what we do. It’s how we show up for every camper that we host.

Real trust, not forced talk.
Some youth will open up by the campfire, some on a nature hike and some over a fish they never wanted to touch. Some never say a word. All of it is okay.

Not a break from real life—a glimpse of what life could be.
For many kids, Camp Dallas is the first time the world will make sense and our hope is that they can carry this through their entire life.
