Epilepsy Camps for youth and families by Epilepsy Foundation Texas

In Texas, No One Faces Epilepsy Alone: Find Your Community 

Epilepsy is disruptive, but it should never stop a child, teen, or family from having an incredible experience! Our camps are built on the principles of Community, Care, and Hope, ensuring every participant feels supported, safe, and free to have fun.

We offer three distinct sleep-away camp experiences to support your family:




⛺ Individual Youth Camps (Ages 8-19)

These residential camps provide an unparalleled opportunity for children and

 teens living with epilepsy to gain independence and connect with peers:

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family Camp: Camp I.G.N.I.T.E. (A Weekend Experience)

 

Camp I.G.N.I.T.E. is our family camp where any family with a member living with epilepsy can attend. It is a sleep-away weekend getaway held in the spring, designed to build family bonds, share experiences, and learn new coping strategies in a supportive setting.

❤️ Care & Safety

We understand that care is your top priority. Rest assured, all camps are staffed to the highest standard:

  • Expert Professionals: Our teams include trained counselors and dedicated medical staff who specialize in epilepsy management.

  • Seizure-Safe Environment: Because campers live with epilepsy, a seizure is met with understanding and acceptance. Your child will feel completely normal, and your family will feel supported.


🤝 Community & Hope

Give your child the gift of community. Activities—including swimming, climbing, playing, and making art—are fully accessible and designed to accommodate various needs and abilities.

  • Build Connections: Connect with other families and peers who truly understand the journey of living with epilepsy.

  • Discover Hope: Gain independence, build confidence, and create memories that last a lifetime.

Cost of Attendance: Offered at No Charge.

We are proud to offer our transformative camp experiences at no cost to attending families. Each year, hundreds of children, teens, and families from across the state participate, thanks entirely to the generous gifts from our community and people like you. On behalf of all our campers and families, thank you for making this possible
