Welcome to Tanglewood Christian Camp Onilne.

Tanglewood is located in Tanglewood, Texas in southern Texas.

Tanglewood Christian Camp is a resourceful tool for the ministry of supporting churches. Tanglewood runs many youth camps and various retreats throughout the year.

 

Tanglewood Christian Camp began over 30 years ago as Lost pines Christian Camp. During the spring of 1974, 20 acres of timbered land was purchased from Mr and Mrs. Larkin Johnsson.  The churches of the association raised the necessary money and paid cash for the 20 acres. On December 7, 1974, the association met in Columbus, Texas, to adopt a new constitution and by-laws and to change the name of the camp to Tanglewood Christian Camp. Final certification from the State of Texas was received on May 13, 1975. On February 21, 1976, the camp had two dormitories, dining hall and kitchen facilities built. Second Christian Church of Houston, made a major contribution to the camp to build a dorm in the memory of W.P. Deathridge, who served that congregation from 1938 to 1973. Construction of those buildings was completed in October of 1976. The first summer camp was in 1977. Many buildings have been added since then. The swimming pool was built in the winter of 1977. Five gazebos were built by churches from the association. Since the beginning of the camp more dorms have been built. We now have 5 dorms, two sand volleyball courts, basketball court, recreation building, nurse quarters, managers house, baseball field, a tank with a blob, and 2 campfire areas.
