Texas proposes major youth camp rule changes, including steep fee hikes and new safety requirements, sparking concerns over affordability.
Texas is proposing drastic changes to youth camp regulations, including licensing fee hikes up to 4,000%, with annual costs potentially reaching $19,500 for large camps.
The state also plans to restructure the Youth Camp Advisory Committee, reducing camp operator representation and adding roles like a parent, child abuse expert, and mental health professional.

The changes follow safety concerns and aim to strengthen oversight, with public feedback due by December 19.
