Texas Lions Camp - Lillie Gilligan

Spring will come to Texas and The Austin Downtown Founder Lion Club will make their trip to The Texas Lions Camp to help prepare the Camp for 1,500 Campers. 

The Camp is 65 years old and keeps growing to service young campers from all over Texas. 

Texas Lions Camp is a summer camping facility dedicated to serving children from the State of Texas with physical disabilities and Type 1 diabetes. The camp is located on over 500 acres of hills and woodlands in the beautiful Texas Hill Country. 

Programs at Texas Lions Camp offer campers a chance to try new activities and create long lasting friendships while developing greater self-esteem and independence. Children eligible to participate in the summer camp program must be between the ages of seven and sixteen and have a qualifying physical disability. Children with Type 1 diabetes must be between the ages of eight and fifteen, and Down syndrome twelve to sixteen years old.
