Week 2 of GTG Outdoors Summer Camp was a blast!

A new cohort, a whole new set of activities, and just as much adventure from day one.

This week was all about learning new skills: mountain biking the trails, trying archery, cooking over open fires, hiking and exploring, and spending plenty of time in the water swimming and jumping in.

Different week, different experiences...
same energy of trying things for the first time, cheering each other on, and having a great time outside.

Week 1 of GTG Outdoors Summer Camp was a splash!

This week brought a lot of firsts. First kayak rides, first campfires, first cliff jumps, and plenty of time spent swimming in rivers, lakes, and creeks.

The best part? Watching campers encourage each other, try new things, and leave each day a little more confident than before.

What a great weekend at Mother Neff State Park!

This past weekend, our community came together to practice Leave No Trace principles, campsite setup, animal identification, and other outdoor skills while spending meaningful time outside together.

One of the highlights of the weekend was helping build a new bridge for the park, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to give back to such a special place. 💚

Thank you to everyone who joined us, and a special thank you to for hosting us!

GTG Outdoors is committed to getting kids outside, active, and connected through positive experiences that build confidence, teamwork, and resilience.

Spending time outdoors helps improve mental health, reduce stress and anxiety, encourage social interaction, and promote healthy physical activity. Team-building activities also teach communication, trust, leadership, and problem-solving skills that benefit kids both now and in the future.

In a world filled with screens and distractions, giving young people opportunities to explore, challenge themselves, and support one another in nature is more important than ever. Proud of these kids for stepping outside their comfort zones and making memories together! 🌎☀️💪

GTG Outdoors is working with youth and young adults across Waco this spring to build healthier routines through outdoor activity. Whether it’s walking local trails or spending time in community green spaces, being outside helps improve both physical and mental wellness. Spring and early summer are the best times to start building these habits, when the weather is more inviting and daylight lasts longer. Our goal is simple: create consistent opportunities for connection, movement, and growth in environments that feel safe and inclusive.
