About the provider

Camp El Ranchito was established in 2007. Its mission is to connect children with the natural world by providing an extraordinarily fun and inspiring nature-immersion experience. The camp is licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), creates an inclusive community for campers from diverse backgrounds and identities, and serves as a learning laboratory for conservation.

We welcome all participants, provided we can safely meet the camper’s needs within the scope of our nature immersion program and healthcare team. Campers are admitted on a first-come, first-served basis, with scholarship and returning campers receiving priority admittance. The waitlist is available for all programs. Registration materials are due up to two weeks prior to the first day of the camp session. Tuition is nonrefundable and nontransferable unless the application is denied, or cancellation is no later than two weeks before the camp session.
