About Camp Texlake
Camp Texlake is the council’s 455-acre outdoor program area located on Lake Travis. After $5 million in renovations, Texlake is looking better than ever. Our state-of-the-art dining hall can accommodate up to 400 guests and may be the perfect location for your next big event!
The facility offers opportunities for use by Girl Scouts, corporations and other community organizations. Besides council events and programs, Camp Texlake is available for day and overnight use during the school year by non-Girl Scout groups.
For girl safety, neither directions nor maps to camp are available to the general public. Directions with a map are only sent in
event confirmation packs.
Camp Song
"Camp Texlake is awesome, you'll see trees and blossoms.
Do yoga, pilates, you'll dance with your body.
Go swimming, nail trimming, smiles will be brimming.
Get manis and pedis, grab your towel and get ready.
Kayaking and hiking, the food is to our liking.
Our counselors are stellar you won't find any better.
Sign up for Camp Texlake, your stay is sure to be great!"
By Texlake Attendees and Girl Scouts, Libby, Kalli and Veronica
