Sherwood Forest Summer Camp
Private
Sherwood Forest Summer Camp is a medieval-themed overnight (sleepaway) camp for youth ages 8-16 on a 25-acre recreated medieval village near McDade, about 35 miles from Austin. Campers become knights or ladies and learn blacksmithing, swordplay, leatherworking, archery, horsemanship, candle-making and theater. Sessions run one week each and campers can sign up for multiple weeks.

★★★★★John EngelThis is a very nice Renaissance faire. Not as big as some but a very intimate setting with a lot of great food. The music was also very enjoyable
★★★★★Geoff JenkinsBoth of our kids - from age 11 to 14 - had tremendous fun at Sherwood Forest (despite the distance from home in DFW) each year, and reckon it one of the highlights of their years. The staff do a great job at making everyone feel included, and they're able to bring out the best in almost every camper. A great experience, and very much recommended.
★★★★★Angela CharbonneauMy daughter has attended Sherwood for years and is returning this year as a camp counselor. She looks forward to it all year. She even wrote her college essay about it (and was accepted to all schools that she applied to!) If you're looking for a place for your kid(s) to leave their electronics behind and fire up their creative thinking, this is the place!
★★★★★Chris HelmsOur son has attended Sherwood camp for 4 years. He has a blast every year. I couldn’t recommend this camp more highly. If your kid is a creative, imaginative, and maybe a little odd, Sherwood will nurture their soul.
★★★★★KathaMy son LOVES Sherwood Forest. He learns so much and comes back with a great attitude each year. The staff is engaged, interesting, responsible, and inclusive. He started going in 2017, missed last year, and is excited about attending for two weeks this year
