CAMP FERN OFF SEASON INFORMATION

Nestled among the rolling hills, tall pines and spreading oaks of East Texas , Camp Fern is situated on an 85 acre private lake. Primarily a summer camp for children, Camp Fern is open in May, September and October to off-season groups.

Facilities include a Dining Hall which can feed 150 - 200 people, a Recreation Hall complete with ping pong tables, piano, TV/VCR, large stone fireplace and rockers on the front porch, a waterfront with canoes and Blob, a covered arena (concrete floor), volleyball court, tennis courts, soccer field, horseshoe pit and many nature trails. All buildings are made of original pine logs from the area, and sleeping cabins (13) can accommodate about 12 persons if top and bottom bunk beds are used. Since sleeping cabins are right by the lake, bathrooms and showers are located near but not in each cabin. All meals in the Dining Hall are served family style, and Fern is routinely given high marks for its basic yet tasty dishes, especially the homemade breads. The weather in May, September and October is usually ideal; cabins are not air conditioned.

Fern typically accommodates father/child campouts, family reunions, specialty clinics desiring an outdoor feel, company picnics and team building experiences either with or without the use of our ropes or challenge course.

Fees include the exclusive use of our facilities. Therefore, a minimum of 50 participants is required. We tailor each experience to the needs of the individual group so prices may vary slightly. Please call for fees. If you have not checked out our website already, you can find us at www.campfern.com .
