Camp Vamonos! - Austin Spring Break Camp, Summer Camp & After School Program
Last checked August 2026
Camp ¡Vámonos! is a full-day, play-based summer camp for children ages 5–11 run out of a private home in Austin's Crestview neighborhood. The intentionally unstructured, low-tech program lets kids build with loose parts, climb trees, bake and do kitchen science, watch classic movies and make arts and crafts, with outings via public transit to practice pedestrian safety. The bilingual director offers optional Spanish; it is not a formal immersion program. Around $250 per week.

★★★★★Sara DubeWe really enjoy Camp Vamonos! As parents, my husband and I really like that the kids are engaged all day, exploring Austin gems, and taking up classic childhood activities (playing outside, learning new games, etc.) without overly relying on screens or doing the same old activities (worksheet-based 'crafts', one activity that is based on that week's theme, etc.) so many other kid camps employ. As for the kids, this is one of the few camps where both my kids drag their feet when it's time to leave; they enjoy their days at Vamonos so much. The hours work really well for our FTE schedules and it is economical- a rare find in Austin. Have recommended to others before and will continue to recommend in the future!
★★★★★Megan GrayBoth my kids have loved Camp Vamonos! It's an old-school camp in the best way - laid-back with lots of free play. Megan usually takes them on a field trip every day, hiking or to a creek to play. She's taken them to the dollar theater and to the UT campus to play ping-pong at the student union. Her backyard is every kid's dream, and my kids like that they have so much free rein to choose their activities, and that it's mixed ages together. SO many craft supplies and activities. Megan is an excellent communicator if there's any issues with the kids. We're in AISD dual language and have loved that she speaks Spanish with the kids too. I highly recommend Megan and this camp!
★★★★★Candace SmithMy daughter has been in both the after-school care and summer camp for the past two years at Camp Vamonos! She loves it! I love picking up a happy girl who has been playing outside in Megan's magical backyard, or returning from a field trip at a local park or hiking trail. Being at Camp Vamonos! has helped my daughter become more confident and sure of herself. Megan treats the kids with care and respect, and my daughter feels totally comfortable being with her. We tried a few other after-school care options before finding Camp Vamonos!, and none compare! This one is the best, hands down.
★★★★★Edwin OrtizIf your child loves adventure and being outdoors, Camp Vámonos is such a special place. It’s been an amazing after-school experience for our kids, largely because of Megan. She’s incredibly caring, patient, and adventurous, and she has a natural way of connecting with each child and supporting their self-discovery. I love how outdoor play and exploration are part of every day—it gives the kids room to grow, learn, and just be kids. Our children truly love going. There’s never any hesitation or complaints, just excitement about what’s next.
★★★★★Staphanie OrtizCamp Vamonos has been an incredible after-school program for our kids, thanks to a leader-Megan, who is naturally caring, patient, adventurous, & deeply attuned to each child’s self-discovery. I truly love how she weaves outdoor play & exploration into every day, giving the kids space to grow & learn in the most joyful way. Our children absolutely adore going—they never hesitate, never complain, & are always excited for what’s next. I know they’ll look back fondly one day, remembering all the fun, adventures, & meaningful moments they experienced at Camp Vamonos!
