A Weekend to Be Kids Again—Together
Here’s the magic of Family Camp at Camp Cullen: parents get permission to be kids again, right alongside their children. When was the last time you really played—not supervised, not documented for social media, but genuinely lost yourself in fun and laughter with your family?
March 6-8 is your opportunity to try new things without judgment, explore without deadlines, and simply enjoy being together. Watch your children’s faces light up as you join them in activities. See your teenager forget to be “too cool” as they get caught up in the excitement. Reconnect with your spouse over a peaceful moment on your cabin porch while the kids play nearby.
Unplug from Technology, Plug Into Family
At Camp Cullen, families take a much-needed break from the constant pull of homework, work emails, school activities, and screen time. Here, the only thing demanding your attention is the laughter of your children, the beauty of nature around you, and the warmth of a campfire bringing everyone together.
These are the moments when conversations flow naturally, when you really see your children for who they are, and when your family bonds deepen in ways that simply can’t happen amid daily routines.
Evening Magic: Campfires and Connection
As the sun sets over Lake Livingston and the stars emerge in the Texas sky, families gather around crackling campfires for some of the weekend’s most treasured moments. Share stories, roast marshmallows, sing songs, and simply be together in the peaceful glow of the fire. These fireside chats often become the memories your children will carry with them forever—the times when they felt most connected to their family and most at peace in the world.
The Perfect Balance of Structure and Freedom
One of the beautiful aspects of Family Camp is its flexibility. With activities running throughout the day, your family can choose what sounds most exciting to you. Want to pack your days with adventure? Go for it! Prefer a more relaxed pace with quiet time on your cabin porch? That works too! The weekend is yours to shape based on what your family needs most.
Easy to Access, Impossible to Forget
Located just north of Houston in Trinity, Texas, Camp Cullen is conveniently accessible for families throughout the Greater Houston area. The short drive takes you from city streets to peaceful pine forests in no time—close enough for convenience, far enough to feel like a true escape.
Why March Is the Perfect Time
Early March offers ideal weather for outdoor activities—mild temperatures, beautiful spring scenery, and the perfect conditions for exploring everything Camp Cullen has to offer. It’s also a wonderful time to break up the routine before spring breaks and summer vacations, giving your family a mid-season boost of connection and adventure.
Plus, this March weekend sets the stage for warmer months ahead, reminding you of the importance of prioritizing family time and the joy that comes from unplugging and reconnecting.
