Deep in the heart of Texas, where the cowboys roam and the chili peppers grow wild, a group of kids like none other comes together. They're not cowboys, though they do wear cool hats sometimes, and they're not chili farmers, though they do love a good spicy meal. No, these kids are the champions of the Texas Junior Archery League, and they're as sharp with an arrow as a rattlesnake's fang. Their leader is a character named Arrowhead Eddie, a tall, lanky boy with a cowboy hat perched on his head, an eagle feather stuck in the band, and a twinkle in his eye as bright as the Lone Star. Eddie has the fastest draw in Texas, said to be quicker than a jackrabbit on a hot griddle. When Eddie lets an arrow fly, it whistles through the air with the speed of a tumbleweed caught in a tornado. The rest of the archery gang are just as quirky and charming. There's Bowstring Betty, who can hit a cactus thorn from fifty yards away, and Bullseye Billy, a young archer with an uncanny knack for hitting the bullseye, even when he's shooting backwards, while eating a chili dog. These Texas archers have more fun than a barrel of armadillos. Between the friendly competitions, the laughter-filled practices, and the joy of being outdoors in the glorious Texas sunshine, every day is an adventure. But mind you, when it's time for the annual Texas State Archery Championship, these kids become as serious as a longhorn bull on a moonlit night. So, all you young archers out there, if you ever find yourself in Texas, just look for the laughter, the flurry of arrows, and the twang of bowstrings. That's where you'll find Arrowhead Eddie and the Texas Junior Archery gang, the sharpest shooters in the Lone Star State.

At our faith-based camps, our aim is to send each camper home with their hearts filled with belief, their spirits uplifted by the grace of Jesus, and their souls awakened by the love of God. Our camp programs are structured to incorporate daily rituals of devotionals, scripture reading, and prayer. This enables our campers to feel and experience God's presence in their everyday activities. To further deepen their faith, they are introduced to gospel truths in a manner that suits their individual learning style. The campers also participate in meaningful praise and worship sessions, which are designed to be both inspiring and enjoyable. Each summer, we see the magic of community unfold before our eyes. Within their cabin groups, our campers learn to depend on one another, to lend a helping hand, and to inspire each other. They engage in exciting tribal competitions, where they not only compete but also comprehend the significance of unity, spirit, and sportsmanship. Our camps provide an environment where young individuals can forge deep, meaningful relationships, that reflect the unconditional love of God, and last beyond the duration of the camp. At Deer Creek, we also focus on adventure activities that fill our campers with wonder and excitement. They have ample opportunities to explore nature and enjoy thrilling activities such as hiking, sky-high zip-lining, river rafting, and wall climbing. They can even take a 'leap of faith', kiss a fish at the top of a climbing wall, or go on a sunset canoeing trip. The campers gather around a bonfire under a starry sky, sharing stories and experiences, creating memories that they carry with them long after they leave our camp, their faith awakened and enriched by God's love.
