An Immersive Step into Presidential History
Visitors to the Bush Family Home walk the same halls once occupied by the 41st President of the United States, George H. W. Bush, during his early years. A stop at this historic site offers not only an intimate view into the daily life of a future president but also a powerful learning opportunity for children to see history come to life.
“These camps are a fun and meaningful way for kids to learn about the American story — not just through books, but by living it through interactive experiences,” said a spokesperson from the Bush Family Home.

Spots are limited and expected to fill quickly. Parents and guardians are encouraged to register early by emailing bushfamilyhome@thc.texas.gov or calling 432-685-1112.
