  Join the Houston Young Lawyers Association for an afternoon of service at Camp For All in Brenham, Texas!

  Camp For All is a unique, barrier-free camp that partners with nonprofit organizations to provide life-changing experiences for children and adults with challenging illnesses, disabilities, and special needs. As a recipient of a Houston Young Lawyers Foundation (HYLF) grant, Camp For All has made a meaningful impact on countless families, and we’re excited to spend the day giving back.

  During our volunteer day, Camp For All will be hosting two incredible partner organizations:

  • NF Family – serving children and families affected by neurofibromatosis.
  • Arrow Kinship – supporting families raising children through adoption, foster care, or kinship care.

  Volunteers may assist with a variety of camp activities, including:

  • Serving lunch
  • Zip line
  • Slime Kitchen
  • Fishing
  • Horses & Barnyard
  • And other activities as needed throughout the day

  No prior experience is necessary—just bring comfortable clothes, closed-toe shoes, and a willingness to help create an unforgettable experience for campers and their families.

  Camp For All is located approximately one hour from Houston. After registration closes, an email will be sent to all volunteers with additional event details and the opportunity to coordinate carpools with other HYLA volunteers.

  RSVP by August 29 to receive additional required forms (waiver, background check).  Forms must be submitted by this date to allow time for processing.

  Reviews from Prior Participants: 

  • “Very dynamic way of thinking about something we practice often. It provided a creative approach to growing skills we may have forgotten were actual ‘skills’. This was an amazing workshop. Thank you for your patience with our lively group. I wasn’t sure what to expect AND was extremely surprised and in awe of how well the workshop applied to our work. It’s hard to convince lawyers that we don’t have it all figured out. Thank you for your time and expertise.” 

  • “It was a different focus than any other training I have had as an attorney. Loved it.”

  • “Everyone has extra noise in their head when public speaking. These tools help ground you to perform your task at an exceptional level despite the noise.”
