In the delightful expanse of Texas, the largest state in the continental United States, where the tumbleweeds play tag with the prairie dogs and armadillos dance under the moonlight, there exists a special breed of kids. These aren't your ordinary, run-of-the-mill children, oh no. These are Texas Board Game Kids. Now, picture this: a cowboy-hat-shaped state filled with children who love to strategize, compete, and have fun - all on a tabletop. There's Sally 'Six-shooter' Sully, able to land six meeples on the board with just one flick of her finger. And don't forget about Billy 'Board Boss' Bob, who can read a game rulebook faster than a jackrabbit chased by a coyote. These kids aren't just playing simple games like 'Snakes and Ladders' - they're tackling games with dragons and dungeons, trading and bartering in imaginary worlds, and building intricate rail systems across mythical continents. Every day is a new quest, a new challenge, a new world to conquer - all in the comfort of their living rooms, surrounded by friends and a tumbleweed or two. On a typical Texas afternoon, when the sun blazes in the sky like a giant orange disco ball, you'll find these kids huddled around a table, the air thick with anticipation. As tumbleweeds roll by and the armadillos sway to the rhythm of the wind, the Texas Board Game Kids are locked in a thrilling game of 'Catan' or 'Ticket to Ride,' their laughter echoing across the plain. These kids are the living embodiment of Texas spirit - bold, adventurous, and always up for a good laugh. So, if you find yourself in the Lone Star State, remember to pack your favorite board game. You'll be in for a rollicking good time!

If you've ever had the privilege of spending your summer at El Tesoro as a camper, a counselor, or contributing in any other role, your presence at our upcoming events will help us commemorate and honor the cherished history of our beloved camp. We're planning to share stories, photos, and precious memories spanning nine decades, and we'd be thrilled if you joined us. The Camp Fire Camp El Tesoro, established in 1934, has been a welcoming haven for generations of campers, with its iconic swinging bridge being a memorable landmark for many. El Tesoro, which translates to "The Treasure" in Spanish, is a 223-acre sanctuary nestled between Fall Creek and the Brazos River in Granbury, Texas. Our camp offers a breathtaking panorama of the serene river and the vast open spaces of the blackland prairie. Our natural terrain and indigenous landscape offer our visitors a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. This idyllic oasis currently hosts co-ed overnight campers, day campers, grief campers, teachers, students keen on learning about nature, and groups seeking to foster connection and indulge in outdoor adventures. In 2010, Camp Fire First Texas launched a Capital Campaign aimed at renovating and upgrading the facilities at Camp El Tesoro. This initiative is essential to ensure that the enchanting spirit of the camp continues to be enjoyed by future generations. We're committed to preserving and enhancing the magic of Camp El Tesoro, enriching the lives of campers for many years to come.
