George Dehan
2022 will mark George Dehan’s 22nd and final year as Camp Allen’s beloved president. As he embarks on this exciting new chapter (that will surely include more Astros games), it is only fitting to honor all his years of dedication and tireless service making Camp Allen an important place in so many lives at the very event he established decades ago. Under George’s leadership, the camp has eliminated all debt, doubled the number of annual visitors, and access to the Camp Allen experience was broadened by providing scholarships to as many as 3,500 children from economically disadvantaged families annually While George’s tangible accomplishments at Camp Allen are immense, it is his character, passion for service, and hands-on approach that leave the greatest legacy on the staff at Camp Allen.event co-chairs

starry nights Austin 2022
Thank you to all that joined us for a Cinco deMayo under the stars on Thursday, May 5th at County Line on the Lake in Austin. It was a truly special evening where joy overflowed as we shared camper testimonies and honored The Very Rev. Cynthia Kittredge. Over $109,000 was raised for Camp Allen programs and scholarships... a new ATX record! Your support truly carries our mission forward. We hope you will join us in Austin again next spring!
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!
