Our Staff
Our trained staff make the difference. Staff receive ongoing training in youth development and the Thrive methodology. This helps each child learn to thrive by allowing them to explore their personal interests, make healthy choices, develop social skills and have fun. Camp Fire programs offer an environment where youth can learn through active exploration and interaction of program staff trained to observe and engage youth to support, extend and clarify learning.
Location and Facilities
Camp Fire Camp El Tesoro, established in 1934, is a 223-acre camp located in Granbury, Texas, on the bend of the Brazos River at Fall Creek. Prairie grasslands, freshwater river, creek beds and wooded terrain offer a variety of ecosystems to explore.
Students stay in cabins equipped with private restrooms and showers. Meals are served family-style in our dining hall. Multiple indoor facilities are available for instruction.
Camp El Tesoro is accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA). This assures you that camp practices have been measured up against 300 industry standards. ACA accredited camps voluntarily go through a rigorous risk-management process to provide a supervised, positive environment with controlled boundaries where children can grow.
“We are creating once-in-a-lifetime memories for a lot of these children. What I value about our experience with Camp Fire’s outdoor education program is my students learn more than just the lessons needed for success in the classroom. They walk away with new, life-long skills that they will carry with them.”
