Camp Allen is known for being a place where lives are changed and leaders are made. The challenge is that many children from economically disadvantaged families and schools need financial assistance in order to be able to participate in our programs. The mission of Starry Nights is to bridge this gap by supporting the camp’s Scholarship Fund which makes it possible for more children and youth to experience this beautiful place and the transformative experiences that we provide. We invite you join us for a casual evening under the stars as we bring the mission of Camp Allen to the city for an inspirational night full of fun!

starry Nights  Austin

Due to COVID-19, the live event on May 7 will not take place, but you can take part in some fun-raising virtually! 
Join us here at campallen.org  April 15-25, 2020 to support camp in any of the following ways:
  • APPLE WATCH DRAWING: Count down to summer camp by entering to win a drawing for a Apple Watch (Series 5 GPS+ Cellular). Drawing tickets are $25 each and support the Grace Fund. The winner will be announced April 27th.
  • WISH LIST:  Directly purchase an item from the Summer Camp and Discovery Program Wish Lists. From bibles to canoes, you can help underwrite joy at Camp Allen this spring.
  • CAMPER SCHOLARSHIPS: The heart of every Starry Nights is supporting the scholarship fund for our campers. We invite you to donate a partial or full scholarship in honor or memory of a loved one.
Our Austin event was slated to honor some of our beloved ATX Clergy Session Directors: The Rev. Christian Hawley, The Rev. Madeline Hawley, The Rev.  Dean Lawrence, The Rev.  John Newton, The Rev. Kathy Pfister, The Rev. Kevin Schubert, The Rev. Chuck Treadwell, and The Rev. Billy Tweedie.  These Clergy and lay leaders from across the Diocese of Texas bunk up at a campsite to be the hands and feet of Jesus to campers and counselors, teach dynamic programming, frequent the blob, cover themselves in shaving cream, and don clergy collars with tie-dye shirts to celebrate Eucharist. The relationships built throughout the camp session and the pure fun shared truly brings the Gospel message to life in a whole new way. Our volunteer leadership is one of the most unique and impactful aspects of Camp Allen’s summer camp program, and we are truly grateful for their service!

Thank you to our underwriters that provided vital support to Camp Allen and to our faithful committee: Ashley & The Rev. Miles Brandon and Bonnie Walton.
