HOUSTON – It is one of the most popular sleep away camps in Texas. Camp La Junta in the Hill Country town of Hunt.
In 2009, a young boy attending the camp was sexually abused by a counselor. The counselor went to prison. But the story does not end there.
Channel 2 Investigates spent months looking into the case. We went undercover and discovered staff isn't telling parents the whole truth.

After reading the letter we again contacted Praesidium for a response.
“Praesidium cannot comment on the specifics of La Junta. As a general practice, we clearly communicate to our clients our standards for Accreditation and stay in frequent contact to help organizations implement best practice standards to become Accredited. We are no longer working with Camp La Junta,” Praesidium’s vice president of Youth Development Services, Britt Darwin-Looney wrote in an email to KPRC.
