Back-2-School Bash - August 29th

Some of us may be less than enthusiastic about school starting again, but everyone will be excited to learn that we are officially announcing our Back-2-School Bash for 2026!

Our annual Back-2-School Bash will be on August 29, 2026 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at Main Event Austin.

We hope to see all of our camp friends there! You can buy your tickets now using the button below. If you have any questions please email camp@cbt1d.org.

Other Upcoming Events

All of our year-round volunteers at Camp Bluebonnet are working hard to ensure that our incredible community gets more opportunities to hang out not just during camp, but through the year as well!

Check out all of our planned meetups for the next few months below:

"Off Season" Volunteering

Several members of our community have asked if there is a way to volunteer with Camp Bluebonnet when we aren't in the middle of camp season, and the answer is YES!

We have several roles open on our camp planning committee, and we always need help with our upcoming events. Fill out the form below and we will let you know how your skills can best help camp!

Thank You, Mascots

The end of camp season means we are saying goodbye to our beloved mascots...

A1c Alice and Sir Lancet-Lot were so adorable and the campers had a blast with them! We appreciate their hard work in keeping everyone excited for camp.

This means that we are in the process of figuring out our new mascots, and this year we want the community to help us! Keep your eyes out for our September newsletter where we announce how to help us choose our new friends!

Peer-to-Peer Fundraising

Last year we introduced Peer-to-Peer fundraising on GiveButter, our fundraising site, and we thought it was a huge success!

One of our capers was able to pay their full camp tuition using P2P (Peer-to-Peer) fundraising, allowing family and friends to assist with funds.

How P2P fundraising works is you sign up for our 2027 Camp Fundraiser using the button below. Upon signup, you can add your story to your campaign, letting everyone know why you are fundraising for Camp Bluebonnet. You can then access a direct link to your fundraising page, up to 3 auto reminders when adding new contacts, and a customizable fundraising goal!

P2P fundraising doesn't just help pay for tuition, it allows for everyone to help raise funds for Camp Bluebonnet year round as well. We will provide customizable Canva graphics for anyone assisting us with fundraising, and everyone who raises at least $100 gets a special camp shirt!

If you are interested in helping us, or your camper, with Peer-to-Peer fundraising and have questions, email us at outreach@cbt1d.org today!
