Meet Our Hosts

Experience Camps is thrilled to welcome Chris Harrison and Lauren Zima as the 2025 hosts for Experience: Austin! Experience Camps came into the couple's lives in summer 2023 when Lauren, whose father died in 2010, first heard about the organization and volunteered at our Maine Girls program.

Chris is a longtime television host and producer. After getting his start in sports broadcasting, he went on to host No. 1 reality entertainment show The Bachelor for nearly 20 years among many other hit shows. Lauren won 4 Emmy Awards as a correspondent with Entertainment Tonight. The two now work together through their production company, Next Chapter Productions, and produce and create content for Dr. Phil's Merit Street network.

Chris and Lauren are thrilled to be an integral part of launching the newest Experience Camps location in their home state of Texas.
