Mark your calendars because Camp Allen is bringing the mission and joy of camp back to Austin this spring!  The Camp Allen family is spread across churches and communities all throughout Central Texas, and the opportunity to gather and simply connect, celebrate, and break bread (or in this case, brisket tacos) together is truly special. We invite you to be an underwriter for this event and have a direct impact on thousands of children that attend Camp Allen through scholarships and program support. 
​

We are excited to shine a light on this year's honorees, Kellye and Kenton Heinze who have spent their entire lives serving, growing, and leading at Camp Allen.

2022 highlights

Over 500 Camp Allen friends joined us on October 13th at the Hilton Houston Post Oak… and what a BALL we had!  The event honored George Dehan who is retiring after 22 years of service as Camp Allen’s beloved President, and it truly was an out of the park send off. Thanks to your generosity, over $775,000 was raised to support camper scholarships and programs... a grand slam of a record! 

camp allen history & starry Nights mission

Turning into the driveway of the serene, tree lined 1,100 acre Grimes County property, one might not guess the humble beginnings of Camp Allen... It all started with one innovative idea, two determined individuals, a handful of tents, and a sky full of stars. In the early 1900s, Rt. Rev. Clinton S. Quin shared a dream with Christ Church Cathedral member, Rosa Lum Allen: to create a place for young people of the Diocese of Texas to go deeper in their faith. Rosa then opened up her home on Galveston Bay in the summer of 1921 and hosted the first summer camp of the Episcopal Church.  Camp Allen has since traversed over 150 miles and 100 years to reach where it is today. With a journey from 10 to 1,100 acres and 36 campers to 70,000 annual guests, the ministry remains the same. Camp Allen is known for being a place where lives are transformed by the gospel and leaders are made. 

The challenge today is that many children from economically disadvantaged families and schools need financial assistance in order to be able to participate in our nationally known programs. The mission of Starry Nights is to bridge this gap by supporting the camp’s Scholarship Fund and programs which makes it possible for more children and youth to experience Camp Allen.  Thank you for your support!
