Overview
Established in 1988 and opening its gates in 1989, The Pines welcomes thousands of summer campers and year-round guests from schools, parishes, and organizations. In addition to our outstanding Summer Camp program, guests participate in Confirmation retreats, outdoor learning through our Environmental Education program, family camps, and more. Young adults are invited to join us for personal growth and professional development through our Missionary Program and Summer Staff opportunities.
In 2024, our Summer Camp program employed 200+ college-age young adults and hosted more than 3,200 campers over 10 weeks. The Pines welcomes campers from across the country and internationally each summer! During the 2024-2025 academic year, the 10 young adults in our Missionary Program are serving over 3,000 youth and adults through our retreat ministry and education program.
Beginning in Summer 2025, The Pines is expanding its mission to Day Camps in the Dallas area.
