Camp Fire Camp El Tesoro was established in 1934 as a 223-acre multi-use camp. Camp Fire First Texas, which operates the camp, has been an inclusive, innovative leader in youth development since 1914 and embarked on a Capital Campaign in 2010 to renovate and upgrade Camp El Tesoro facilities so that future generations can experience nature through camping. Camp Fire Camp El Tesoro is accredited by the American Camp Association. The organization partners with Texas Parks and Wildlife to expand outdoor learning at Camp Fire Camp El Tesoro.
Woven into every Camp Fire experience is a research-based and measurable framework for thriving, with programs that connect young people to the outdoors, to others, and to themselves. Camp Fire states that children and youth in its programs find a safe, fun and inclusive place where they form lasting relationships, develop a sense of belonging, make positive contributions to their families and community, and develop essential skills that have long-term benefits and make a positive social impact in the world. Camp Fire also states that it provides youth and educators with a space where they feel like they truly belong through playful, inclusive, affordable, and powerful out-of-class experiences.
One Camp Fire alum and former counselor, Jakob D., a college senior, shares that he learned to never give up, to always keep trying, and that he does not get stuck because he can return to the growth mindset he learned from Camp Fire and from his elders. A camp parent reports that a child who had many difficulties in 3rd grade and felt defeated by the end of the school year became more positive after starting at camp, received a Leadership Award, and that the parent “saw some spark come back” to their son.
