| HOTBC Watersports Information | |
The Heart of Texas Baptist Camp Watersport facilities are here to provide groups and individuals with positive swimming experiences, fun and fellowship in a Christian atmosphere.
New Waterfront Recreation Area
Is Now Available!
Heart of Texas Baptist Camp has completed construction on a man-made lake in which all waterfront activities are now available! The lake covers approximatly 2.5 acres and is 12 ft. deep at it's deepest point. The area also includes a new double decker blob dock and paddleboat dock. All waterfront activities; blob, aquajump, paddleboats, swimming, etc.; are available at this new recreation area. The lakefront will be useful year round for camping and nature hiking/viewing as well. This new feature is made possible by a strong commitment from the HOTBC Board of Directors and your generous contributions to Phase II of the "Touching Lives Together" fund-raising campaign. If you would like to contribute to this project and the "Touching Lives Together" campaign please download and send in the TLT Pledge Card or contact the camp.

Swimming Pool At our swimming pool you receive quality swim time under the watchful eye of our certified staff lifeguards. A terrific way to beat the summer heat! Pool capacity is 75 swimmers.
Slip-N-Slide (land inflatable) Slide into some fun with this 2 lane, 30 ft long Slip-N-Slide. Only 2 people allowed to slide at one time (one in each lane). Guaranteed to be a hit for all age groups!
Aquajump (lake inflatable) With just a bounce or two, you'll agree that the Aquajump floating trampoline is the most exciting toy on the water. The Aquajump brings family and friends together for hours of entertainment. Only 7 adults or 12 children allowed on Aquajump at one time.
Water Totter (lake inflatable) Imagine a teeter totter on the water. Well, that's what you get when you rock and ride the Water Totter! Two, four, or even six people (depending on size and age) can enjoy the fun simultaneously.
Blob (lake inflatable)
This huge, air-filled pillow is perfect for launching a friend into our private lake! The Blob is a HOTBC tradition that never loses its excitement! Only two persons allowed on blob at one time (1 blobber, 1 jumper). Blobber and jumper must be within 30-50 lbs. of each other.
Paddleboats
Take a peaceful tour of the beautiful HOTBC private recreation area and rediscover the pleasure of cycling on water. 1-4 participants allowed in each boat, depending on paddleboat style. (Paddleboats are only available during summer camps)
Fishing
Test your fish angling abilities in our secluded cove on Lake Brownwood. The predominant fish species in Lake Brownwood include largemouth bass, white crappie, hybrid striped bass, white bass, freshwater drum, channel catfish and flathead catfish. Participants must provide own fishing rod, tackle and bait. State fishing rules and regulations apply for Lake Brownwood fishing.
