We have some exciting projects lined up for your stay, and we can't wait to see what we can accomplish together to make Deer Creek even more special for all who visit.
We have renovated 14 of our 21 cabins. We are shooting to do one cabin renovation per month this off-season so that every cabin will be updated by next summer! These projects include carpentry, electrical, staining, painting, and cleaning.
We love to serve homemade cookies at camp for special occasions. Preping and freezing cookie dough in bulk is a huge blessing to our campers and also a blessing to our kitchen staff who will be able to simply thaw and bake this summer!
Helping Alma and her team in the kitchen while our church partners are here each weekend.
We have been blessed with the ability to upgrade some of the older buildings at camp. To keep the new construction in the best shape it all needs to have Thompson's water sealant applied.
We have beautiful natural cedar posts all around the camp. Due to the sun exposure and climate in the Texas hill country, the posts can get dried out and lose color, once a year we sand them down and reapply Spar urethane to keep them in top condition.
Complete cabin renovation for Bill's Bunk. New flooring, interior roof work, trim, staining and painting. Looks incredible!! Thank you, SOWERS!

Adding a front porch to a renovated cabin with shaded covering so campers and counselors can sit outside of the cabin.
We're doing a deep clean of our kitchen and pantry to get everything in order. We'll declutter, scrub surfaces, and reorganize everything. This will make meal preparation and storage much easier and more inviting.
We have metal storage units all around the camp. We hope to fully convert these into bunkhouses. This project will include prep, possible electrical work, drywall installation, framing, and painting.
We'll be looking for an experienced electrician to consult and re-due some inconsistent wiring for the light posts in the pool area.
We're expanding our archery area to make it bigger and better. We aim for this to be a comfortable area providing sun protection for campers practicing their skill sets. This project will include demolishing the old pavilion, expanding the gravel walkway, light landscaping, and rebuilding the shaded pavilion.
We're expanding our outdoor craft area to make it bigger and better for creativity and relaxation. We're reimagining the layout, adding new features like a workbench, storage units, and seating areas, and enhancing the area with new landscaping, lighting, and fresh gravel. This new space will be perfect for artistic pursuits and outdoor enjoyment.
We're excited to bake and serve delicious homemade cookies to our campers next summer! We'll be selecting recipes, preparing desserts, and using preservation techniques like freezing, canning, and drying to make sure they stay fresh.
We're upgrading the lighting and electrical systems for our sand volleyball court to make it safer and more functional. We're removing old fixtures, installing new lighting, running electrical wiring, and connecting the court to a power source. This means more playing time, even after the sun goes down!

We’re constructing a shade pavilion for a zip-line attraction to provide sun protection for visitors waiting in line. The multi-use structure will also serve as a covered meeting area for Bible studies and group gatherings. Includes site prep, foundation work, construction, and roofing.
We’re nestled between the limestone spring-fed Medina River and the picturesque hills of the Texas Hill Country. Our inviting waterfront and 110 acres provide campers with numerous opportunities for epic adventure and the space for spiritual refreshment. Whether it's a three weeks or a few terms, we invite you to come stay a while.
Our RV sites are equipped with everything you need to feel right at home, including water and electrical hookups, picnic tables, and fire pits. Our guests are often treated to deer grazing in the mornings, spectacular sunsets in the evenings, and star-filled skies at night.
Wifi is available throughout camp, and cell service is great for AT&T. If your carrier is Verizon, you'll need to use wifi calling as you won't have cellular reception. The laundry room is available to SOWERS, and we typically work out a rotation with the GL for that term.
If you have any questions, feel free to call our resident SOA, Bobbie Bonno or Jesse Sanders, one of our camp directors. They'll be happy to help you out!
