Camp Fire First Texas has been an inclusive, innovative leader in youth development since 1914. Camp Fire Camp El Tesoro, established in 1934, is a 223-acre multi-use camp that includes two swimming pools, a covered equestrian center, and a challenge course with both high and low elements. The organization uses a research-based and measurable framework for thriving in all Camp Fire experiences and connects young people to the outdoors, to others, and to themselves through out-of-class experiences. Camp Fire’s programs provide youth and educators with a space where they feel like they truly belong and enable people to develop essential skills that have long-term benefits and make a positive social impact in the world.
Leadership for Camp Fire First Texas includes Melanie Marshall, Vice President of Youth Development, and Jenny Wester, Chief Program Officer. Camp Fire Camp El Tesoro is accredited by the American Camp Association, and its camp license is approved for 2026 summer operations.
Parent and participant feedback includes comments such as, “I saw some spark come back to my son, and I am a grateful mama,” from a camp parent, and a report that a child who had many difficulties in 3rd grade quickly changed his mind about camp after the first day and received a Leadership Award. A Camp Fire alum and former counselor shared that the growth mindset learned from Camp Fire continues to influence his life as a college senior.
