Greetings from Camp El Tesoro!
Flowers are blooming, sun is shining, and there's a nice cool breeze.  If you are like me, you are finding any reason to get outside! 
 
Fresh air and time with your family is something that is definitely needed before you hit the rush of end-of-school activities. Take some time out for a family outing. Family Camping at El Tesoro provides you one of the best opportunities to unwind, reconnect, and slow down from the everyday routine.
 
Hiking, canoeing, archery, and crafts are just some of the many things we will be doing during the camping weekend.  There are blankets of wildflowers and a new exciting addition at El Tesoro waiting to be seen! Invite friends, family and neighbors to enjoy a well-deserved, relaxing weekend outside! 
 
Don't forget about summer camp!  We are filling the summer with tons of fun and we want your camper to be a part of it!   
 
See you at camp!
Toni Hooten,
Camp Director

Horse Camp at El TesoroSaddle Up This Summer With a NEW! Horse Camp
A new week-long Horse Day Camp at El Tesoro is sure to please any horse lover! Daily activities will focus on building beginning- and intermediate-level horsemanship skills, how to care for horses, team building and a swim to cool off.  Campers have the option to stay overnight on Thursday. Open to campers entering fifth through tenth grades.

Do You Want El Tesoro All To Yourself? 
Many people don't realize that Camp El Tesoro has a great community use program. Your family, church, sports team or school can reserve the use of El Tesoro for your own weekend or weekday outing. Now is the perfect time to get back to nature and get back to camp before the official summer camping season kicks off in June.
