Camp Doublecreek is one step closer to opening its new location in Pflugerville. The Round Rock-based camp announced last July it would relocate to a roughly 20-acre site at 3503 Kelly Lane, in Pflugerville. Pflugerville City Council approved a specific-use permit for outdoor commercial recreation and entertainment at a May 10 meeting. The permit will allow Camp Doublecreek to hold entertainment activities and games in an outdoor setting. Camp Doublecreek’s Pflugerville location will open sometime in 2023. The camp will operate at the Round Rock location at 800 Double Creek Drive this summer. www.campdoublecreek.com

Food Box has served Central Texas communities for the last 20 years and sells gas, coffee, beer, wine, food and soft drinks. https://foodboxtx.com
