about

our story

A ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, Camp Allen has traversed over 150 miles and 102 years to reach where it is today. With its humble beginnings on 10 acres of land on Sylvan Bay gifted by Rosa Lum Allen in 1921, Camp Allen has moved and expanded to 1,100 forested acres in Navasota with 99 full time employees. Throughout the journey, the heart remains the same: to create a space for people to come and find respite, and experience God in a new, illuminating way. Our desire is that each of our guests, campers, and students leave Camp Allen feeling renewed, inspired, and ready to come back again soon.
