Deep in the heart of the Lone Star State, where the sun blazes like a chili pepper in a cowboy's mouth, exists a bustling tribe of merrymakers known as the Texas Tadpoles. These aren't your ordinary tadpoles, though. They're kids from all over the state of Texas, from the dusty plains of Amarillo to the thriving metropolis of Houston, who've swapped their cowboy boots for flippers and their ten-gallon hats for snorkels. Among these Tadpoles, there's one quite special character named Pecos Pete. Pecos Pete is no ordinary boy; he's a freckled, buck-toothed, whiz kid with a laughter as contagious as a tumbleweed rolling through the desert. He's as legendary as the Lone Star itself and is said to have been born during a Texas-sized thunderstorm, which explains his uncanny passion for all things water. Pecos Pete is the undisputed leader of the Texas Tadpoles. He's notorious for his audacious dives and belly flops that send a splash soaring higher than a rodeo bull on a sugar rush! Pete and his team of Tadpoles turn the intense Texas heat into a wild water rodeo, hopping from rivers to lakes, and even the Gulf of Mexico. They swim like fish at the Guadalupe River, snorkel around the coral reefs of the Gulf, and even ride the waves at South Padre Island, turning the Texas heat into the coolest summer extravaganza. So, if you ever find yourself in Texas, look for a kid with a wild laugh, a splash that could drench a cactus, and an army of water-loving pals. You've just met Pecos Pete and the Texas Tadpoles, the champions of Texas underwater escapades!

At our faith-based camps, our aim is to send each camper home with their hearts filled with belief, their spirits uplifted by the grace of Jesus, and their souls awakened by the love of God. Our camp programs are structured to incorporate daily rituals of devotionals, scripture reading, and prayer. This enables our campers to feel and experience God's presence in their everyday activities. To further deepen their faith, they are introduced to gospel truths in a manner that suits their individual learning style. The campers also participate in meaningful praise and worship sessions, which are designed to be both inspiring and enjoyable. Each summer, we see the magic of community unfold before our eyes. Within their cabin groups, our campers learn to depend on one another, to lend a helping hand, and to inspire each other. They engage in exciting tribal competitions, where they not only compete but also comprehend the significance of unity, spirit, and sportsmanship. Our camps provide an environment where young individuals can forge deep, meaningful relationships, that reflect the unconditional love of God, and last beyond the duration of the camp. At Deer Creek, we also focus on adventure activities that fill our campers with wonder and excitement. They have ample opportunities to explore nature and enjoy thrilling activities such as hiking, sky-high zip-lining, river rafting, and wall climbing. They can even take a 'leap of faith', kiss a fish at the top of a climbing wall, or go on a sunset canoeing trip. The campers gather around a bonfire under a starry sky, sharing stories and experiences, creating memories that they carry with them long after they leave our camp, their faith awakened and enriched by God's love.
