Get Started

Yes, we do. We have many camps on campus with attendees ranging in age from Elementary school kids to adults. If your organization intends to have minors in attendance, your sponsors and leaders must undergo the Campus Program for Minors / Child Protection Training.  Be aware that there is a $15 risk management fee associated with each participant. For more information, visit the Children and Minors on Campus website.

No, we do not.  All external camps will be sponsored for housing by Housing and Residential Life.

We generally open our reservations system on October 1 and will accept reservations at any time after that. We would appreciate reservations by March 31 to organize the appropriate staff and halls for coverage.

We do not provide linens/bedding. Each attendee is required to bring linens of their choice, including towels, etc.

Meals for the summer are contracted through Aramark

Groups are not required to eat on campus, but if they want a catered event, Aramark has the right of first refusal.

Please note, Texas State University is a tobacco-free campus, and alcohol is not permitted on our property.

There is a weekly parking fee that will be assessed during the planning of your camp.

A permit is required for each vehicle on campus. These rates are consistent with the regular university weekly rates. Texas State students will not be eligible for a Gold permit. A permit is valid for up to 7 days and is not eligible to be prorated.

Please indicate the number of permits needed on your housing reservation form. For more information, contact Parking Services.

Please see our rates page.

Please request these spaces as part of your space request in the note section. The charge for our large meeting rooms, in our residence halls, is $100.00 per day. We'll also provide audio/video support (projector, screen, HDMI cords, etc.). Space in these rooms can be limited, but they do have movable tables and chairs to allow for some customization to fit your group's needs.

All invoices will be sent within 10 business days of the last checkout of the group. A 50% deposit is due 30 days before the first arrival date. Payment is due 30 days after the invoice has been sent.

Check-in varies based on the needs of your group.

Check-out is prior to 11 a.m. Failure to check out by 11 a.m. will result in the group being charged for an additional day.

Any Check-ins or Check-outs between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am will result in a $50 charge.

You are more than welcome to arrive at any time on the first date of your reservation. Richard A. Castro Hall has a 24-hour reception desk.

You must check out by 8:00 a.m. for NSO guest housing. Failure to do so will result in being charged for an additional day.

For example, if you reserved a room for June 12 to June 13, you may check in on June 12 at any time regardless of how early or late. You must check out by 8 a.m. on June 13.
