The theme is “Survivor: Texas County,” said Jason Pounds, activities chair. The fun starts at 7 p.m. and runs through 7 a.m. Saturday.
Several musical acts are planned: “The Fallen,” “Miles From Nowhere” and the Houston High School jazz band. A live auction also is planned.
Here is a tentative schedule of activities:

Overnight activities include a “challenge” for teams, as well as a round of trivia every hour, Pounds said. At about 6 a.m. there will be finale challenge for a prize. It will consist of the winners of the previous team challenges, as well as one or two people who found the “Hidden Immunity Idols.” All teams will have prizes and goodies at their campsites, too.
