Adopt A Cov This Summer!

For over 30 years, the T Bar M Staff Medallion has been handed to those who have faithfully served (though many served before this tradition began). Over 6,000 people have been part of this team we call family. Whether your medallion still hangs around your neck, is carefully tucked away in a safe place, or hangs where it’s easily seen, the sight of it takes you back to a season of sacrifice, service, and how God changed you.

Hello from Panama!

Throughout their time in Panama, the T Bar M Team will send updates and prayer requests, which will be shared here. Check back throughout the week to this same page to hear about their trip.

Have Your Kid Come Work at Camp!

If you've worked at Camp, you know firsthand—God uses T Bar M to change lives summer after summer. Working at Camp shapes our faith, stretches our limits, and teaches us that the Christian life is meant to be lived in community. We learn to work hard, resolve conflict, and rely fully on the Lord.

Home From Oaxaca!

Tim Team 29 has returned from Oaxaca, where they experienced God work through them in incredible ways. In the second half of their trip, the Team prayed with local families in need, served at the mission house, and hosted a youth event and children’s camp. Lives were transformed as people gave their lives to Christ, asked questions about God, and shared the Gospel with others. Through prayer and service, the Team saw firsthand how God is moving in Oaxaca.

Living Life-On-Life

Each summer here at T Bar M, we get to see God change the lives of Campers through Christ-centered adventure. Daemyn Cortez’s story is one example of the impact that generous partners have in helping make sure every child can experience what God does here at Camp.

Family Camp's Top 10

Breakfast at Rio Grande

"There is an old rustic camp in Spicewood, TX where “Breakfast at Rio Grande” ignites a flood of nostalgic feel goods buried deep in our bones… I’m talking about a little place called Camp Travis. If we’re counting (and we always do) it’s been almost 24 years since my first summer as a Travis Camper. […]

Alumni ... Let the Fun Continue!

What a sweet view we have from the front row, watching the Lord move in and through the people and place of T Bar M. We can’t stop thanking Him for all He's done this summer. And this week, we’re especially thankful for you, our Alumni family. But first, let's give a big warm welcome […]

Here's Looking at You.

Each Sunday this summer, Alumni gathered at Base Camp in the Sanctuary to pray for the week ahead. We shared the same story each week because we believe it is worth repeating as well as an encouragement and challenge for us today. It didn’t take long for a young Camper named Fred to note who […]

2024 Full Summer Overview

Reflecting on this summer, we are reminded of the powerful truth in Psalm 115:1: 'Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness.' The Bible says that glory is even more exclusive than we think — only God himself is glorious! From […]

Running the Race

There is a race run at Camp Travis each Wednesday of the summer. In looking through the epic photos, we can't help but see God's Word coming alive. And if we listen closely enough, we see how it reminds us how to run the race we are in daily (just with less mud ... hopefully). […]

Braxton Zella, former Camper, Coach, and Director encourages and challenges us while sharing his journey and the impact T Bar M has had in his life. "We’re all on a journey.

Each week, we see many of YOU, former T Bar M Campers and Coaches, bringing your Campers (and we are banking on future Coaches) through the Gates.

What is the Gospel?

What did we teach your Camper? What does it mean to "accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior"? The Creator of the universe has revealed Himself to humanity as the one true God. He revealed Himself generally through His creation, but specifically through His words spoken through His prophets written down and contained in what […]
