The Leader in Outdoor Education

Anytime is a great time to be outside!
We aren't a field trip! We are a learning experience!

The Nature of Discovery

Located on beautiful Lake Tyler, with over 300 acres of forest, prairie, and meadow, Camp Tyler Outdoor School provides unique, interactive outdoor learning experiences to enrich students' education. We provide a crucial tool to forge connection with the natural world and our environment by inspiring curiosity and enjoyment of nature. We are motivated by our love of children and a desire to be good stewards of nature.

All residential and day programs are customized to meet the goals of the classroom teacher or group leader. Choose multiple day and overnight stays to maximize the impact of your visit to Camp Tyler. Programs focus on STAAR prep and are TEKS aligned.
