About Camp
Our main goal is to provide a safe environment for kids to meet new people and have fun. We strive to introduce campers to new, entertaining, and interesting locations around the Central Texas Area.
We offer weekly specialty camp choices centered around outdoor, indoor, or theme park destinations. We will practice 5 Core Camp Virtues every day to foster a positive experience for all participants.
Our Specialty Camps
Outdoor Week
This camp focuses on visiting the very beautiful natural bodies of water and public parks in Central Texas. It will include hiking, swimming, kayaking, and more! We occasionally will escape the heat for bowling, arcades, laser tag, and other indoor adventures.
Indoor Week
This camp is geared toward the indoorsy crowd. It features venues such as Altitude Trampoline Park, Blazer Tag, Cidercade, EVO, and many more! We will also go outside from time to time for some sun and water fun.
Theme Parks Week
This camp will visit some of the best theme parks in the world. Depending on the week, we will take 2 trips per week to a major Theme Park. We take 2 visits a week so the campers can maximize their time at these wonderful venues. We’ll also visit smaller parks such as Volente Beach, Typhoon Texas, and Rockin’ River.
Camp Virtues
-
Our number one priority is to keep everyone safe from danger and injury. We will frequently remind kiddos to stay with their groups and to follow all safety practices of the venues we visit. Counselors will also effectively and consistently monitor their assigned groups.
-
Part of our mission is to help campers learn to be personally responsible and accountable for their behavior and their property. We all make mistakes and/or can be forgetful at times but it is important to accept the consequences of our actions.
-
We aim to emphasize the importance of listening and learning from our peers as well as recognizing the necessity of following directions from adults.
-
All who participate in camp (campers and counselors) will be encouraged daily to show kindness and respect to everybody they meet inside and outside of camp.
-
Being positive is essential at an adventure camp where many are trying something new for the first time and/or might be having a rough day.
We expect campers and counselors to be motivating and supportive towards everyone in a positive manner especially during moments when someone is struggling.
Letter from the Owner
Hello Parents and Guardians!
My name is Thomas Austin and I am the Owner/Director of Kidz Quest. I have been working with young folks for over 2 decades now in many capacities. I started as an AAU Track and Field Coach while still in high school. From there I have held a variety of different positions including Summer Camp Counselor (at overnight & day camps), Substitute Teacher, Preschool P.E. Coach, 5th Grade Science Teacher, Lead After School Care Teacher, and After School Site Director.
Most recently from 2022-2025, I was the Director for a very prominent After School Program in Austin, TX that operated at 7 different schools in the city. While in that role, I was responsible for supervising and supporting 45-50 staff members providing care to over 400 students.
After all these years, I realized that my true passion was Summer Camps so I decided to go into business for myself. I founded Kidz Quest to bring my love and enthusiasm for summer adventures to others.
I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in 2011. So, obviously, I am an avid Longhorn Fan (all sports). Hook ‘em! I am also a Dallas Cowboys fan (unfortunately), Spurs fan, and casual Astros fan. I enjoy going to live concerts, movies, and singing karaoke occasionally. To relax, I like to hang out with friends at a pool (or any natural body of water), by a fire pit, chit chat and grill up some food.
I have a beautiful doggo named Kiki (pictured below). She’s a 75lb. German Shepherd Mix and she loves going on walks and playing with other doggies at her favorite dog park. If the environment is right, she may join us on a few adventures this coming summer.
2027 will be the inaugural year for Kidz Quest and we look forward to meeting and getting to know all the families that choose our camp. It’s going to be a summer full of fun, friendship, and memories that will last a lifetime.
We can’t wait to share it with you!
-Thomas
