Outdoor Adventure

At Camp Anothen, a Christian summer day camp in Mansfield, Texas, kids trade screen time for swim time, fishing lines, and outdoor adventure. Our 22-acre campus gives campers room to explore God’s creation, build friendships, and learn about the love of Jesus.

With programs for preschoolers through teens, families can find the right fit for their child’s stage of life. Big camp adventures, meaningful connections, and home each night - that’s summer at Camp Anothen.

A Typical Day at Camp Anothen

From drop-off to pick-up, campers spend time playing outside, connecting with their group, and learning about Jesus. Here’s a look at the experiences that fill a day at Camp Anothen.

OUR CAMPUS

A Beautiful Place to Be a Kid

Right here in Mansfield, Texas, our beautiful 22-acre campus gives campers room to roam, explore, and experience the wonder of God’s creation. From wooded trails and natural gullies to open fields and ponds, the outdoors becomes part of the adventure.

Whether they’re casting a fishing line, exploring with friends, or discovering something new among the trees, campers have space to unplug and simply be kids. It’s more than a place to spend the day—it’s a place to connect with nature, grow in friendship, and make memories to bring home.
