The Pines Catholic Camp, Catholic summer camp in Big Sandy, Texas
The camp sits on wooded grounds roughly two hours east of Dallas, with a layout built around cabin accommodations set among the trees. Visitors find a range of outdoor activities and structured recreational options spread across the property.
The site was established in 1988 and welcomed its first visitors the following year from local parish communities. Since then it has grown into an established facility serving regular group visits and extended stays.
The place serves as a gathering point where visitors of different backgrounds come together through shared outdoor activities and community programs.
The grounds are open during warm months for day visits and overnight stays, with different session windows available for various groups. Plan ahead to register and bring suitable clothing for outdoor and wooded activities.
The program includes specialized activities like archery tag, zipline courses, and kayaking that go beyond typical forest camp offerings. This blend of adventure-based programs and nature-centered experiences sets it apart from standard recreational facilities.
