Summer Camp Facilities Built for Adventure & Safety
Summer Overnight Camp Facilities
The YMCA Camp Cullen facility is a best-in-class facility, intentionally designed to deliver a high quality, immersive experience to kids of all ages. The cabins, activities, layout and amenities, mixed with the well preserved natural environment provide a perfect setting for fun, growth, excitement, disconnection from the hustle of the world and reconnection with nature and new friends.
Every facility at Camp Cullen is staffed by trained, background-checked counselors who are present with your child from morning until lights out. Our structured environment gives parents complete peace of mind while their camper explores, grows, and makes memories that last a lifetime.
Safety & Supervision
At Camp Cullen, the safety and wellbeing of every camper is our highest priority.
Our trained and background-checked counselors are present with your child throughout the entire day — from morning wake-up through evening lights out. Staff-to-camper ratios are carefully maintained across all activities, whether your child is on the water, on the trails, in the arts center, or settling into their cabin for the night.
Every counselor holds current certifications in first aid, CPR, and AED use. Our on-site Health Center is staffed around the clock to handle medical needs of any kind during your child’s session.

Cabins
At the end of their day of fun, kids will come back to a clean, climate controlled bunkhouse with their friends.
Kids will feel right at home with en-suite, individual bathroom and shower facilities. There are front and back porches complete with rocking chairs for relaxing and building relationships with their cabin mates.
The Hamill Foundation Dining Hall
The dining hall view is as impressive as our chef-inspired meals. Campers sit with their cabinmates to enjoy balanced, kid-friendly meal options prepared by our camp chef that even the pickiest eater will love.
Our kitchen team is happy to accommodate dietary needs and food allergies — just include your child’s requirements during registration and we will take care of the rest.
WT & Louise J. Moran Health Center
Your camper’s health is in good hands at Camp Cullen. Our on-site WT & Louise J. Moran Health Center — supported by the Bob, Dick and David Weekley Nurses Residence and the Hamill Foundation — is equipped to handle medical needs 24 hours a day throughout each camp session.
On-site medical staff are available around the clock to manage everything from minor scrapes and illness to medication administration and health monitoring. If your child needs medical attention during their stay, our team will contact you promptly and keep you informed at every step.
All medications are securely stored and distributed according to the instructions you provide at check-in.
The Hamill Foundation Camp Store and Snack Bar is also located here.
The Hamill Foundation Waterfront
Head down to the lake for fun on the water! Many activities launch from the dock including sailing, skiing, tubing, our banana boat, and more. All waterfront activities are supervised by certified lifeguards and trained waterfront staff. Designated swim areas and water safety protocols are in place for every session — so parents can feel completely confident their camper is safe on the water. If your child loves water sports, consider signing them up for our specialty camp track!
Weekley Chapel
Campers start their day with songs, skits, and excitement for their activities at this outdoor amphitheater. After their dinner and day of fun, campers come back to the chapel for closing ceremonies against the sunset sky. The chapel is a place to experience the camp community as a whole – to bring campers together in readiness for the day, reflection on their achievements, and to display their talents including dance, singing, cheering, and experience joy together.
Hamman Ranch at Camp Cullen
Your camper will learn how to ride in our state-of-the-art Hamill Foundation Equestrian Center on Hamman Ranch — one of the finest camp riding facilities in Texas. Whether your child is sitting in a saddle for the first time or has years of riding experience, our certified equestrian staff will guide them at their own pace.
Your child will develop riding skills and horse care knowledge, and gain real confidence as they guide their horse around the ring and along our scenic riding trails.
We offer specialty equestrian tracks for riders who want a deeper, more immersive experience throughout their session.
Baker Arts and Science Center
Camp offers something for every child. In our Baker Arts and Science Center, we let the campers curiosity and creativity run wild. Kids can experience our Earth Science room featuring rocks, minerals and fossils from around the world. Interested in performing arts? We have a dance room and a music stage. Love to make arts and crafts? Visit our crafts and pottery rooms complete with wheels and kilns to bring camper’s creations to life! For parents looking for enrichment value alongside the outdoor adventure, the Baker Arts & Science Center gives campers hands-on exposure to STEM concepts and creative arts in a setting where learning feels like play.
500 Acres of Outdoor Adventure Fun!
Your camper can explore 500 acres of camp grounds in their time here. Outside of our buildings, campers can experience a wide variety of outdoor activities. Special programs occur at target sports ranges, horse trails, a geological quarry, a wild west town, miles of hiking trails, a pool, and more! Every outdoor activity and exploration program is led by trained staff, so families can feel confident that adventure and safety always go hand in hand at Camp Cullen. The opportunities for discovery and wonder are endless!
