Welcome to Camp Arrowhead for girls.  Enjoy the many traditions that have been active for 73 years!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overhead view of Camp Arrowhead's 650 beautiful Texas Hill Country acres fronting the headwaters of the south fork of the Guadalupe river.  It is located on Highway 39 in Hunt, TX.

 

 

The 'Big House' was built in the 1800's.  The lower story served as a stagecoach stop for many years.  It is said to have been part of the old Chisholm Trail stage run.  The house is built well above the 100-year flood level, but when floods did occur, the stagecoaches would be floated across the river, according to local folklore.  The second story was added in 1916 by a member of the Crider family.

 

 

This is Garner's Gazebo, lovingly built in the memory of my mother Garner Gillis Bartell.  You will find many campers hanging around and shooting the breeze under the canopy of the pecan trees over the gazebo.

 

 

 

Each cabin can sleep 12-16 girls, bunk-style.  They are grouped in cabins according to their age, along with 2 counselors per cabin.  We are in the process of 'rocking' the cabins with native stone that we have here on the property!

 

 

 

 

The way each girl's bunk is decorated is only limited to their imagination!

 

 

 

This is the dining hall, fondly referred to as the "Filling Station".  We have just finished putting in a new wooden floor and bare cedar poles.

This is Gillis Hall, named after Charles & Martha Gillis; the founders of Camp Arrowhead.  This is where we have our 'tribe shows'.  It can seat up to 300 people.
