...a private camp with a Christian emphasis.
Straight Arrow Camp is a non-profit Christian summer youth camp located on the shores of Lake Texoma in Pottsboro, Texas. Situated among 50 acres of beautiful trees and lakeshore on corps of engineer property, the camp hosts 200 campers between the ages of 7 and 17 each year. The camp was established and incorporated on April 23, 1953 as a non-profit and noncommercial organization. The staff at Straight Arrow Camp is entirely volunteer.
The mission of Straight Arrow Camp has been the same since 1953. “To provide boys and girls with both physical and spiritual development and training, in a summer camp environment”. The goal is to instill a sense of values and responsibility at a time when much of what they see and hear teaches them the opposite. It is through this that we hope to have an impact on their lives to help them become strong, well-rounded adults who see the world around them in a responsible light. We strongly feel that the training of youth today will significantly impact their future world in a positive way.
