Community Camp Guide
BY COMMUNITY IMPACT STAFF
2026
Readers, welcome to Community Impact ’s annual summer Camp Guide! As schools begin to let out students for the summer vacation, parents turn to local businesses to occupy their summer time. Before my time at Community Impact , I worked as a camp counselor here in Austin. Summer camp is a place where parents can drop their children o during the work day, but also gives children a place to meet new friends outside of school and try new things. Our annual guide is compiled by Community Impact ’s team of reporters. It is a noncomprehensive guide and ordered alphabetically with the goal to help parents choose a camp for their child in the Southwest Austin and Dripping Springs area. There are many options to go through, and here we have compiled a list of 37. Some camps are focused for the athletic child, some for the artistic child or a child interested in science and math. While camps do not pay to be included in the guide, as it is editorial content, local businesses sponsor our camp guide so that we may run it each year for the community.
