About Discover Camp Garland

Location:

3121 Forest Ln, Garland, TX 75042, US

Mission Statement

We believe every child deserves opportunity, no matter who you are, or where you're from. Volunteers help DCG provide help us continue to provide low cost to no cost children's programing throughout the year to children across the United States. Our 501(3)c non-profit focuses on building future leaders through mentorship, leadership and instilling team work through recreational programming and education. We are dedicated to our mission of being inclusive in sharing those critical childhood experiences and building blocks that help shape a child's life. For economically disadvantaged children, the opportunity to be submerged in these type of programs that help guide them as they grow older often evades them.

Description

Discover Camp Garland was created with expertise from over 30 years of experience in a municipality recreation!

The goal for our programs are to provide campers a unique experience than what other camps may provide. Campers will enjoy a safe and comfortable play environment where participants will enjoy games and active activities, arts and music, field-trips, mentorship programs and more.
