Summer Day Camps

It’s time to get the kids busy for summer, learning to swim and keeping them away from the technology distractions that have become a part of their lives. With kids practically required to be on social-media sites to keep up with their friends, there’s hardly time anymore to interact face-to-face or get outside and just play.

Enter summer camps at Cordillera Ranch, the time-tested alternative to boring days around the house. Our day camps at Cordillera Ranch focus on getting kids outdoors, learning to enjoy the many different activities found on the ranch. We focus on getting kids excited about being in the Guadalupe River, into the many parks and experiencing nature, rather than simply keeping them occupied during the few months they’re not in school. Instead of watching movies or sitting in front of a computer screen, kids are tromping through the creek, playing games and learning to identify insects and plant species.

We have revamped our Learn to Swim program and getting kids comfortable and learning to be proficient swimmers will be a top priority for our aquatics program during the summer. Several of our key staff are now Accredited Camp Directors with the American Camping Association and all of our summer camp staff will receive training under the American Camping Association camp staff curriculum.

Our goal is to have kids learn to enjoy the many outdoor activities we offer at the club, learn about the environment on the ranch, so that when the kids get home after camp, they’re dirty, hungry and tired from a full day of activity. Our goal is to have kids enjoy the physical and health benefits of experiencing the breeze, the sunlight and the sounds of being outdoors. But aside from all the benefits of getting out into nature, staying physically active, socializing and learning new skills, when it comes down to it, camp is just plain fun.

Where Do You Spend Your Time?

I recently read a story retold by the father of a young family of three that included himself, his wife and their young daughter. According to his recounting, after dinner they were each challenged to share an object symbolic of how they would describe one another to a stranger. When it was the daughter’s turn to share the item she thought to be representative of her father, she produced a cell phone. At her young age, she wasn’t taking a sarcastic “shot” at her dad, rather, it was how she truly saw him when he was home.
