Greetings from Camp El Tesoro!
 
The snow was beautiful and fun, but I'm ready for some warmer weather!!! It's almost here and we have many opportunities for you and your family at El Tesoro.  
 
Spring Break Day Camp and our family camping weekends are a great way to get back in touch with camp and kick off your spring!  Get more details about these great programs!
 
We have some exciting new additions to camp that I'm sure you will be very pleased to see this year!  We are starting our renovations with the low water crossing over Fall Creek into camp. This will make it a lot easier for deliveries and driving into and out of camp, when needed.
 
We are also beginning to build our new High Ropes Challenge Course which will include a climbing wall and zip line!  I can't wait to see the campers climb up the wall and scream their way through the trees with excitement!  It will be a great addition to our program when it is completed!

Hurry and sign up for summer camp!  With our new FREE online registration process, signing up is a snap!     
 
See you at camp!
Toni Hooten,
Camp Director
Fishing at El TesoroPut some SPRING in your spring break plans
El Tesoro is hosting a spring break day camp March 15-19. Join Toni and her spring break staff from 8 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. daily as they have some exciting outdoor fun. A full agenda will keep campers busy and outside enjoying the beautiful Texas weather. Archery, hiking, canoeing, fishing, crafts, games and much more.

Want more El Tesoro? Stay overnight on Thursday evening and enjoy s'mores around the campfire! Be sure to bring your lunch (except Friday - we'll have a hot dog lunch!).  
 
Spring Break Day Camp is only $40 a day or $165 if you sign up for the week. The overnight stay is an additional $25.

Holiday Day CampFamily Camping Weekends
Give mom what she really wants this Mother's Day - quality time with her little campers and none of the clean up! Mom & Me Camping weekend is a great time to pick flowers, hike, canoe, shoot arrows and hang out with mom (or step-mom, aunt or grandma!). Show her how much she means to you with an escape from the everyday to El Tesoro.
Pricing, details and camping options are available online. 
 
Weekend camping fun is available to the whole family this spring!

Mark the calendar for Family Camping at El Tesoro April 16-18. Gather up the family, pack up the car and come on out to camp. Our flexible scheduling fits your schedule. You can choose to spend as much as  two days, two nights, or just stay one day at camp. It doesn't matter how long you stay, but that you take the time to come out and play!
Early registration and multi-child discounts are available.
Challenge CourseSummer Rocks with Some New and Some Improved
It may feel like summer is never going to be here, but take heart! Camp really is right around the corner. We have a lot of exciting things going on. Here are some at-a-glance details!
 
1. Camp El Tesoro will have a new challenge course this summer! The new course will include high and low elements and is something you will want to come and test out for yourself!
 
2. A new camp video will be posted on CampElTesoro.org. Now you have the perfect answer when your friends and family ask, "What did you do at camp this summer?"  Just take them to the website and show them. A picture is worth a thousand words!
 
3. We are going green. Camp El Tesoro continuously looks for opportunities to be good stewards of our resources. New this year, we are offering a free online registration process and confirmation packet download. Some things, like luggage tags, will still be mailed, but we are excited about this step that will decrease the amount of paper we use.
 
4. Don't say goodbye to El Tesoro on Friday. Stay a couple of more days with our Extended Weekend Upgrade! Select weeks are available for a two night extension.  These weeks are expected to fill up fast. Check out the details so you don't miss out!
