FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
News Release #12: The Storm After the Storm; TLC is LICENSED for the Summer of 2026!!!
A statement from the President & CEO of Texas Lions Camp, Inc.
Kerrville, Texas. [May 19, 2026] — This just in: TLC has been Licensed by DSHS for the Summer of 2026! The staff and I have been working since September of last year for today's arrival of this exciting and mission critical news.
I want to thank members of my stellar executive team, namely, Steven King - SVP, Karen-Anne King - VP of Summer Camps, and Ken Folsom-Director of Maintenance, without whose expert intervention, this news release might have come later or be announcing something very different altogether.
Thank you to the staff of Texas Lions Camp, all of whom have made contributions under tight timeframes and high stakes while having an occupied boss. I would be remiss if I did not also thank our camper families and many constituents for your patience and voiced support during these unprecedented events.
Lastly, I want to thank DSHS and their staff for so diligently working to review, comment on and respond to our application. To the Office of Emergency Management, to the State Fire Marshall, to our local Fire Marshall Jason Lackey as well as the many vendors answering our call for assistance (who I will highlight in a separate release regarding upgrades to the facility).
Celebrate quickly, because we open the season in less than two weeks with our first session on Sunday, May 31, 2026. Welcome to TLC!
Sincerely yours,
Stephen S. Mabry, President & CEO
Texas Lions Camp, Inc.
