Who we are
We are educators with a passion for the outdoors. Our vision is to provide a quality camp experience for people in the Rio Grande Valley. We are proud to offer a wide range of activities at the historic Lula Sams property in Brownsville, Texas. We have been operating outdoor education and day camp programs since our inception in 2015. We launched overnight summer camp in 2019, and in 2020 we will offer weekend Retreat programming. This is the only camp of its kind in South Texas. We hope that you enjoy exploring our website. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Our passion
OUTDOOR EDUCATION
We provide adventure-based learning tailored for your students, teachers, staff and administrators. Students spend the day exploring the natural world through activities such as archery, plant and animal identification, team-building, canoeing, and many others.
SUMMER DAY CAMP
Summer Day Camp at Camp RIO is a dynamic, five-day outdoor adventure experience with activities such as paddling, archery, slingshot shooting, geocaching, yoga, fishing, and sports. Each adventurous day is facilitated by a leadership staff known as Camp Guides, which are experienced naturalist and outdoor educators.
