Rec Camp

Baylor REC Camp is a week-long, summer experience for kids ages six to twelve, serving the families of Baylor faculty and staff, and taking place in eight sessions over the course of the summer. Held on the Baylor University campus, the camp program provides a wide array of sports, indoor and outdoor recreation, select water activities, and specialty interests. The camp will place an emphasis on character development taught using Biblical principles. Large group time will include team games, fun skits, and a devotional.

Baylor REC Camp is facilitated through the Campus Recreation Department and staffed by Baylor professionals and well-trained students.

Camp Registration
Camp Registrations OPEN February 2024!

Camp registration takes place via the Active Camp Management platform. Registration may be completed by selecting the "Camp Registration" button on this webpage. Registration is open exclusively to Baylor faculty and staff dependents prior to May 1st. If capacity remains on May 1st, registration will be opened up to the general public on the same date. Campers may register for the waitlist for any term that is full. If a spot becomes open, an automated email will be sent to families with a 24-hour window to register for that session. If a family opts not to register during this period, the next family on the waitlist is emailed.

Camp Experience

The Baylor REC Camp experience provides an exciting summer alternative for parents seeking to keep their kids engaged both physically and relationally, while also stimulating personal growth. The professional approach, world class facilities, and variety of camp activities makes Baylor REC Camp a win for all involved! The camp program schedule will remain consistent throughout the summer. However, the experiences, activities, events, and themes will generally change from one week to the next to keep REC Camp fun and fresh for kids attending multiple weeks. Campers will be placed in teams according to their ages and will do most camp activities within these teams.

Camp Session Specifics

Camp sessions will be week-long in nature, and campers can register for any number of the sessions listed. Programmed activities occur from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, but an extended care option will be provided from 8:00 am to 9:00 am and 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm for those in need of full-day coverage.
