Learn About the Camp WAO Experience Firsthand

Camp WAO is conveniently located an hour and a half from Austin and two hours from San Antonio. Regardless of which direction you are driving from, you will experience the beauty of endless rolling hills flowing like a green river through winding roads to your destination. 

Physical Wellness Education

Camp WAO is the perfect retreat location for holistic health coaches, and alternative health community. Set in a pocket of nature in a minimalist environment, your guests can leave their worries behind while invoking the inner child within and build lasting relationships. We are more than a retreat center; we're a community.

Creative and Dramatic Arts

There's a place for campers to explore and develop their artistic side at Camp WAO, as well. We encourage artists to inspire the world by hosting classes and workshops that focus on drawing, painting, music, songwriting, play writing, and theater performance. Help your guests tap into their creative side when you host your retreat.

Recreational Fun

Of course, there's room for some pure fun and excitement! Camp WAO has a fleet of activities with provided bicycles, kayaks, and outdoor sports. Not only do we have onsite activities, but we're also located by popular attractions for off-site adventures.
