Autism Summer Camp for
Children and Teens

In Greek, Charis means grace and acceptance…
in today’s world, kids need more of both.

Located in the North Texas Hill Country area, Charis Hills is a Christian Summer Camp that offers kids, ages 7 to 18, with learning differences and social difficulties—those with ADD, ADHD, high-functioning Autism, and Asperger's—an opportunity to come to a place of acceptance. We provide a positive camp experience while sharing the good news about Jesus Christ. During the camp experience, we focus on learning about Christ, improving social skills, boosting self-esteem and confidence, and helping kids understand that their differences are neither uncommon nor debilitating. We play with purpose: we give kids access to traditional camp activities, combine recreation with learning, and help kids find greater success and fun in daily life.

Charis Hills also hosts church groups and events through our venue rentals. Our mission is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where everyone can experience Christ’s love and grace. By choosing Charis Hills as an event venue rental, you also support our greater mission to empower neurodiverse individuals and their families.

Whether you are looking for a faith-based summer camp or a picturesque setting for your special event, our team has you covered.
