Have you heard of Carolina Creek’s overnight summer camp? It isn’t a Vacation Bible School away from home. It’s a summer camp for kids, offering a wide range of exciting activities and events connecting fun and faith! The best news (in our opinion) is that it's located in Hunstville, TX, only a short drive from The Woodlands, so it's an easy-to-access summer camp for our readers, especially if you're feeling a bit uneasy about your child being away from home.

Main Street Theater’s production of Stuart Little, based on the classic by E.B. White, will run Mar. 3 – Apr. 6 at the theater’s Midtown location at MATCH, 3400 Main St. in Houston. It's the endearing classic about a mouse named Stuart Little who is born into an ordinary New York family. All the charm, wisdom and joy of the E.B. White original come to life on stage with the marvelous maneuverings of a mild-mannered mouse who is trying to survive in the great, big world. Recommended for Kindergarten and older. 

I lost count of the number of times my daughter said “Mommy can you sign me up, please?” We did the March 3 Tour Day for Camp Cho-Yeh, and let me tell you… if you are toying around with the idea of sending your child to an overnight summer camp, doing a tour like this (Camp Cho-Yeh's next Open House Tour is April 7) is very highly recommended! Meeting the friendly staff and getting a look at the grounds definitely eased my mind about summer camp overnight. And if the idea of camp all the way in Livingston, Texas seems a bit far-fetched, let me assure you that it’s only 1 hour from the Woodlands, a very comfortable drive!

Camp Cho-Yeh is an overnight Christian camp comprised of 700 acres of wholesome adventure! We toured the cabins, the aquatic center, the Cho-Dome, and the Trading Post, and we got a look at the giant swing, various other buildings and lodges throughout the campgrounds, obstacle mud courses, the lake, ropes courses, and more!

You won't see everything in these photos, including the water sports and the giant lake inflatables that your kiddos will be able to enjoy during camp, but hopefully you'll get an idea.

Pictured below is a look at one of the elementary-age cabins & bathrooms. Imagine your little one connecting with her peers, sharing songs and giggles, and maybe having the occasional pillow fight!

Here's the dining hall where hot meals are served daily!

Nature abounds at Camp Cho-Yeh, and at the heart of all the fun activities is a Christian-led camp where your child is growing in confidence while connecting with others and God's word. What more could you want?

The cabins and bathrooms were clean and spacious, and during our tour we were able to let off energy on the jumping pillow, shoot hoops on the basketball court, explore the amazing treehouse (including a double barrel slide that blew my mind), and we didn’t leave without getting a second helping of Cho-Cookies which were divine!

If you’re looking for an overnight summer camp opportunity for your child who’s entering 1^st grade up through high school, be sure to give Camp Cho-Yeh a look! The next Open House Tour is scheduled for Sunday, April 7, 2024, and here’s the link to RSVP. It’s a free event!
