The staff here was amazing and you truly could feel the spirit of Christ in them. The grounds, facilities, activities and food were excellent! May the Lord continue to bless Camp Blessing, the entire Beautiful Staff and Elder Family who bring this establishment alive to forever continue to make positive impacts on and in everyone's lives they come in contact with! read more

My experience volunteering was extremely disappointing. I left feeling disrespected, unheard, and unfairly treated by the leadership. One of the most upsetting parts of my experience was that I felt I was treated as though I had been dishonest. I also felt I was unfairly accused of making negative comments about campers. To the best of my knowledge, I never made the kinds of comments I was accused of, and I was never given a meaningful opportunity to explain my side. I was especially discouraged when my volunteer service hours were taken away after everything I had contributed. Instead of feeling appreciated for volunteering my time, I left feeling dismissed and unsupported. I believe volunteers deserve to be treated with respect, listened to fairly, and given the benefit of a genuine conversation before serious conclusions are reached. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. read more

My daughter was a volunteer at camp blessing and it was the most traumatic experience for her. At one point, my daughter was exhausted and having a hard time coping and because she went away for an hour to recoup, the counselor told her she would not be getting any volunteer hours, even though she worked for 5 days days and nights. Beth, one of the camp leaders, instead of being a mature adult, managed the situation with zero emotional intelligence. Stay away from this toxic place. There are better environments for your high schoolers to volunteer. read more

Incredible inclusive camp for specially Abled campers highlighting how everyone is made in God's image. You are known and loved at camp blessing. read more

This is our second trip to Camp blessing. I believe they took exceptional care of my special-needs son. He is in a wheelchair unable to walk, they canceled him quite well, which wasn't easy transferring him and toileting him. It's a lot of work. The facility was very clean that had a nice full bed, it's very organized. I love the praise and worship when you pick up your child there are plenty of activities. The deciding factor is really and how happy my son was when I picked him up. I would recommend it. I think they're doing a fine job and it is Christ centered. read more

Camp Blessing Texas - Summer Camps Near Me - Brenham, Texas

See all

Fell apart. Used to be literal heaven on earth. New management hired in Jan 2019 has proven corporate and not trustworthy. Board of Directors has minimal regard for needs of campers, parents or staff and makes questionable & secretive financial decisions. In April 2020, the camp directors of 15 years were fired under the guise of covid19. Their salary was crowd-funded in 24 hours yet they were not reinstated and no explanation was given to the cbtx community. The vast majority of the long-term, dependable, highly-skilled staff will not return due to the pain this has caused. When (if) camp opens again they will be flying blind. This is a new unknown business now. I would not give them your money or your children. In the months following this event, CBTX systematically deleted and blocked the social media comments of staff and community members who asked for answers or dared push back against them. Small minded place. read more

Best place ever! Came as a volunteer march 2020, came back as staff in 2021 and as a part of leadership team 2022. I can honestly say our executive director is the best! He is a man of God that loves his family, and camp. Any camper that drives through those gates are lucky to be there! read more

The new Board of Directors chose to fire the Elder family- one of the founding families of CBTX and has continually put out contradictory information. They also have started blocking long time supporters & volunteers on social media as they try to rebuild camp without the Elders. They also cancelled camp this summer for our differently abled campers but chose to rent it out to a college for 2 weeks. I would not send my child to camp blessing anymore and have no idea who will take over the daily operations. read more

This camp used to be heaven on earth. They were taken over, and the new organization has proven that they are not trustworthy. i sent my camper to camp here for four years. They will not answer emails and are blocking people and deleting comments on social media. Be very careful. Highly would not recommend sending your child here under the current circumstances. read more

Very disappointing. Not good with people, new management proves to be incompetent. Not even putting campers interests first. And if it's used as anything other than a special needs camp for a retreat or something it's honestly just underwhelming. Nothing to write home about and absurdly overpriced. read more

I used to refer this camp to families frequently. I had complete trust in the leadership of the Elders. However, with recent changes, and new leadership, I would not recommend this camp. Their inexperience with the special needs population is evident and their leadership cannot be trusted. read more

This is an great place my kids had an amazing experience as volunteer at the camp. They are coming back this year again with a large group of friend. From age 13 to 18. read more

After the board of directors fired the elders in April, I can't recommend that anyone attend this camp. Many volunteers and staffers won't be returning because of this decision, and despite this, the directors still fail to see the issue at hand. Comments on posted are being censored, and the review function under the camp blessing Facebook page has been taken away. Certain users on social media are also being blocked from voicing their opinions, and can't comment. Camp blessing has changed, and the current leadership is more focused on money than ministry. read more

Prior to Covid-19 I would have given Camp Blessing a 5 star rating the families that started this camp so many years ago had a vision of a camp for everyone. However the board fired the heart and soul of the camp and I wouldn't trust the new "leadership" with my child. read more

Best place you could spend your summer! It's a life changer for sure!! I'm on staff this summer and I've grown so much seeing all that God is doing at this camp!! Not only do the campers grow but so does everyone involved with camp weekly, staffers, cabin parents, SOTKs, leadership etc. It's an AMAZING place to be. read more

The closest I have come to finding heaven on earth! Everyone's lives are changed, from the campers to the counselors and staff. Would highly recommend(: read more

I was a counselor at this camp and I was very disappointed with this camp, especially other counselors and the cabin leaders. The campers had a ton of fun and I enjoyed serving them, but it the other counselors who were the problem. I was expected to be treated like an adult as a counselor, but it was the very opposite. On day one, before the campers arrived, the other counselors showed little to no interest in talking to me. The training we received on the first day was okay, although I think we could've received more training. Once the campers arrived, I tried my best to keep my camper a happy camper! However, the other counselors and the cabin leaders treated me like I couldn't do it. I was constantly asked if I wanted to step down and be a Jr. Counselor instead. One counselor even "stole" my camper away from me, talking to her and "helping" me out by taking the job completely away from me, giving my camper her undivided attention and leaving her camper completely alone to stand in a corner. I eventually dealt with this by giving her camper attention when she was being ignored for my camper. The way I was treated at this camp made me very, very stressed. What's more, is that after the campers are put to bed, the counselors and cabin leaders hang out in a separate room to have a devo. However, most of this time was NOT spent on the devo and was instead spent on talking about the other campers! The cabin leaders traded "funny stories" about the campers and it was a whole laugh-fest, when talking and gossipping about other campers was supposed to be against the rules! Why are the CABIN LEADERS talking about the campers like that? Overall, I feel like the campers were treated well, but I was not happy about what was really going on "behind the scenes" at this camp. I completely support the overall message of this camp, but believe that improvement must be made. Counselors should feel ENCOURAGED and treated like they are responsible and can handle their task! I'm not coming back this year, sorry. read more
