🌞 Every child deserves a summer of wonder. 🌳

At Lewisville Park Alliance, our mission is simple but powerful: promote, protect, and enhance the parks and recreation system of the City of Lewisville through education, resource development, and community partnerships. We believe everyone should have access to nature, play, and possibility.

And that includes kids who might not otherwise have the opportunity to go to camp, learn to swim or access community facilities.

Camp is more than crafts and games. It’s confidence. It’s connection. It’s the spark of discovery, the joy of friendship, and the feeling of belonging in the great outdoors.

You can be a part of making that magic happen.

💚 Donate now to support summer camp, youth and senior facility memberships and water safety instruction. Your gift opens the gate to adventure, experience, and lifelong memories.
