I can not say enough good things about Camp Double Creek. The staff is caring, flexible, and a joy with which to work. My son was so tired of being stuck at home this spring. Double Creek was a lifesaver; he came home smiling and tired every day. Keep up the great work! read more

Lorie is an amazing. She cares not only for her dogs but for every dog that she looks after. It is a truly great place to leave your cavalier King Charles Spaniel there. My Lancelot spent 8 nights there and he was really well taken care of and LOVED! Thank you, Lorie for caring for my dog. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this camp. Both my 8 and 12-year-olds had a wonderful time. They made great friendships, bonded with the counselors, had an amazing time, and cannot wait to return next year. Oh, and they came home exhausted!! I only wish we would have started sooner. read more

This camp is great. Convenient bus pick up. All day camp with varied activities. Not outrageously priced.

My daughter attended Spring Break camp last year and she eagerly asked me if she is returning this year and she most definitely is! We live south austin, and they have a pick up available to transport her so we don't have to drive all the way to round rock. I can make it to work on time and have peace of mind knowing she is having a blast! They remove all barriers for us She had a great time and I got to see her in action during parents day. I highly recommend this camp! Thanks camp dc! read more

See all

This place was our savior during the summer of 2020!! We sent our daughter here after being home for months due to Covid quarantine and she desperately needed somewhere to go. Camp Doublecreek totally lived up to its reputation and delivered a fun-filled, safe, summer despite all the precautions. My daughter came home every day happy and exhausted! She couldn't stop talking about it. Camp Doublecreek literally saved our summer from being miserable and put some much needed joy back into our lives. We'll be signing her up for all the summers to come!! Love, love, LOVE this place!! read more

This place was an amazing camp for my kids last summer. They were open during Covid and kept the kids safe and socialized. Thank you staff!

This glowing recommendation for Camp Doublecreek is long overdue. The short version, my kid comes home full of smiles, talking nonstop about her day, singing songs from camp all night and eager to go back--everything I could hope for. She swims twice a day, horseback rides, plays sports, arts & crafts, archery etc. and has made great friends. We run into folks all around Austin throughout the year that she already knows because of this camp. It is amazing to see! She has gone the last four years and each year the activities advance with her and she is never bored. They also do an amazing job with the staff and it is so nice to see many of the same counselors year and year. I feel confident that she is being well taken care of and having a blast all summer! This year in particular, I feel grateful for this camp. Though the summer may look a little different and involve a lot more hand washing, the smiles have not faded, and she is still having an absolute blast!! read more

I really love this camp and the variety of things to do when attending. My biggest concern is the two daemons of summer, water and sun. I advised both my children that they needed to ensure they drank plenty of water, put on sunscreen, and wore swim shirts. I took the time to advise the camp that both my children are ADHD and very forgetful, that they will need constant reminders. I advised the camp of all the medications my children take and advised them of specific side effects I was concerned about, namely dehydration. The camp assured they would make a point of checking my children. I have treated both of my children for serious sunburns on their backs. I took one of my children to the hospital with pancreatitis due to dehydration making one of his medications not filtering through his body properly. He was in hospital for 4 days and required a full 5 bags of saline, a liquid diet, and constant daily testing to ensure his pancreas was not collapsing. End of day, I think mine is an extreme case, but I also feel that my warnings and requests needed more attention. The counselors are good folks, they have several people with good expertise in working with children, and the activities are amazing. The sheer variety of things to do at Doublecreek is perfect for a busy summer. read more

My kids (boy and girl) have gone here for 3 years, and they love it. One is outgoing and one is more reserved, and they both look forward to this camp each summer. Tip: You HAVE to sign your kids up for horseback riding. My kids talk about it all year long- they even remember the horse names, too. Also, if you have 4 and 5 year olds, request that they sit with a counselor on the bus. Mine were not used to not having a seat belt, but the counselors sat with them after we realized this and made the request. My kids also say they like archery, crafts and they loooooove the snacks. This is such a special, one-of-a-kind place. I'm so thankful it is near us! read more

Camp Doublecreek was wonderful! My kids loved it! It was high energy, old school fun! Archery, singing, capture the flag etc. The staff are AMAZING and very helpful. I felt that everyone working cared about my kiddos. The sugar was a concern, but as soon as I realized that I could ask counselors to limit sugar consumption, it was much better. read more

The registration process took too long (vaccination records, at least three peoples Driver's license numbers, etc). When I started, there were seven openings, and by the time I was done with registration, my daughter got in and my son was 4th on the waitlist. After calling, we were told he has little likelihood of getting in, so I'm out my $35 deposit and an hour of my time. read more

My kids loved this camp. The counselors keep them busy outside all day. They rotate through their activities with very little down time in between. I have sent them to camps that do that and see counselors chit chatting rather than interacting with the kids. You will not get that here. I love that the counselors are unplugged and are attentive to the kids. The counselors seem to have a good rapport with each other according to stories I hear. Half the fun is how the counselors make themselves the recipients of major self-deprecating silliness. The camp has been around forever and it is nice that those nice traditions that make the camp great lives on. At the end of the day at pick up, they are tired and exhausted but in a good way. The only downside is that they are outside all day. BRING a large insulated water cooler. read more

We are so happy that Camp Doublecreek was able to open this summer as many camps did not. This is the 2nd year my son has attended and his younger brother will follow next summer. After being stuck at home for months due to COVID, this camp gave my son the normalcy he needed. He is excited to go everyday and loves swimming, horseback riding, gun safety, arts and crafts, archery, making new friends and so much more. We are sad for it to be ending, but look forward to many more summers! Thanks to the staff for all they do and making it so fun for the kids and safe! read more

Your kids will absolutely love this day camp; mine does! You get your money's worth with the amount of activities they have and the fact that they have transportation sites all over Austin for your convenience! They have a wealth of resources for the kids to partake in such as swimming, archery, horse back riding lessons, gun safety, mini golf, paint ball, and the list goes on and on. My son comes home daily happy and thrilled with his day's events. I have always had a positive response from all the staff, and they have been nothing but professional when working with us. Also, they have a great online registration system that gives you all the necessary information, plus the ease of registering for everything without having to ever pick up the phone. I even had to change weeks that my son was attending and that was a breeze. If you are looking for a quality, responsible, and excellent camp for your children, this is the place without a doubt! read more

Our son is now 9 and has attended Camp Doublecreek for the past 3 years. During his 3rd year he was honored with a pretty Camp Doublecreek charm. He loved being recognized. Think of it as summer camp without the sleep over. Perfect for kids who want the camp experience but are anxious about sleeping away from home. Our son absolutely loves archery, swimming, gaga ball, and petting the animals they have at camp. He really enjoys the horseback riding lessons--Buba is his favorite horse. The bus rides are a lot of fun. They sing camp songs during the ride! Every day, my 9 year old comes home happy, excited about the next day, and tired from a fun day! read more

My daugher has gone to this camp for one week each of the last three summers. When we talk about "camps," she states firmly that she will ONLY go to Camp Doublecreek - nothing else is good enough :) It's especially nice for our family since we live in California and my father and his wife live in Austin. My daughter can go to visit them for a week, but no one is overwhelmed by "what to do with a twelve year old" because she goes to camp during the day. This leaves enough time to enjoy each other in the evenings and for a weekend. The bus system is perfect since my dad (who's in his 70's) can drop her off at a stop near his home. Very easy for everyone. read more

My son would wake up at the first of the camp session and say he didn't want to go to camp he wanted to stay home and play wii all day. Now he loves it and can't wait to go back. He complained tonight he was sore from playing dodgeball... I consider a sore kid a happy and busy kid. He loves the horseback riding and other kids he has met there. read more

Kids come home happy and TIRED! Love the bus stations throughout Austin (because we won't drive to RR).

The horseback program was in great need of revision. When I was there they overworked these horses and didn't give them enough rest. You could see their hind legs dragging in the sand in the arena ! And there was a lot of junk food constantly available to the kids . read more

My 2 grand daughters attended Camp Double Creek over spring break. They are ages 4 and 9. They LOVED it. They both are wanting to come back this summer to attend and the 9 year old wants to bring a friend. The 4 year old loved the horses. Thank you Camp Double Creek for creating such a positive memories for my grandchildren! See you this summer! read more

My kids love Camp Doublecreek! Everything is incredibly organized and communication is tremendous. Their staff and counselors have a great passion for the camp and keep it fun and safe. They have bus service to/from camp! Their activities are fun, funny, creative and engaging. It seems to be one of the most well run and active summer camps in the Austin area. read more

My daughter has been going to Camp Doublecreek since she was 4 and she is 9. BEST CAMP ON THE PLANET!!! sidenote-WE MOVED HERE FROM MAUI! Yes, that's right, from paradise. I have lived in TX,NYC, LA and everywhere in between, experienced every type of kid activity out there, just sayin'. She attends this camp every summer, every holiday, every break that camp is operating-SHE IS THERE!! On her own accord, asking all the time, when is first day of camp, what theme is next week, when is nickel dive??? They offer horse back riding, swimming, high-dive, zipline, archery, crafts-o-plenty - SINGING ON THE BUS!!!! MUD, WATER, BEES, AIR, ALLERGIES, SUGAR, L-I-F-E!!!!! This camp has it all!! BUT, its not the activities, or the yummy, fun delivered lunches from popular kids joints, the super awesome summertime snacks or the out-of-this-world facility that make this heaven on earth for my very happy "Ray" of Sunny sunshine-ITS THE STAFF!! Listen up Yelpers, if you believe, ponder or even think twice about a negative word reported about Camp Doublecreek - your kid DOES NOT belong here!! This camp is the real deal! Remember back in the day, when kids could be kids? You would leave your house at the crack of dawn, play hard all day until the sun no longer filled the sky, returning covered in mud, fun and happiness, sooooo exhausted you couldn't even eat your spagettios, hot pockets or pizza rolls, unable to drag yourself into that dreaded bath?? That my friends- is CAMP FREAKING DOUBLECREEK!!!! You want a live referral, you can talk to myself or my daughter! This is a family owned and family operated business like no other!!!! When I say family, this includes the kids that went to camp here, grew up here, are now counsellors here, what does that tell you??? My daughter is already chompin at the bit to apply for the coveted CIT role, so she too can pay it forward to this over-sanitized, over-helicoptered, over-pediatrician-percentile'd bla bla bla, everyone-gets-a-trophy-boo-hoo-hoo- generation!!!! Kim, Dan, Joe Ray and all counsellors lucky enough to sport the CIT t-shirt -KEEP IT UP, DO NOT EVER CHANGE!!! IF IT AINT BROKE....love love love see yall next week!!! read more

This is a wonderful summer camp. So many quality fun activities for kids to enjoy. My boys (7) come home every day from this camp happy and excited; they love it! I highly recommend the horse riding lessons, which they also love. As a parent, I like that the directors communicate, are well organized, and flexible when necessary. And, the kids very much like all the counselors and counselors in training. What more could you want? Peace of mind and happy kids!!!! read more

Fantastic, glorious, old-fashioned summer camp just like the camps we went to when we were kids. Archery, horseback-riding, capture-the-flag. Kids come home happy and exhausted and ready to get started all over again. yes, there are weeds. So what? We love this place! read more
