Helping youth explore, laugh and grow since 1934 through overnight, day, and grief camps. Hiking through wooded terrain to Mt.
(732)

Camp Fire Camp El Tesoro is a 223-acre multi-use camp established in 1934 and accredited by the American Camp Association. Located in Granbury, Texas, on the bend of the Brazos River at Fall Creek, Camp El Tesoro has grown over the years and now includes a variety of year-round opportunities such as family camping, spring break events, group retreats, and outdoor education for students. During the summer El Tesoro offers traditional overnight camp, day camp, and a camp for grieving children. The wide range of activities and programs create opportunities that show each camper they can achieve whatever they set their minds to. Loma, singing songs with friends around the camp fire, and zip lining on the challenge course are more than just fun activities; they are moments for campers to learn and thrive. Camp El Tesoro offers exciting times, but the moments in between solidify the friendships and the personal growth that keep our campers coming back each year.

Leadership starts with new experiences. 🌲✨

Camp Fire Teens in Action program hosted the first-ever L.I.F.T. (Leading and Inspiring Future Thinkers) Day at Camp El Tesoro. Students spent the day immersed in nature, connecting with peers from across Tarrant County, exploring leadership through outdoor experiences, and building skills that will help them become future community leaders.

L.I.F.T. is a collaborative initiative between Camp Fire First Texas, Communities In Schools of Greater Tarrant County, Girls Inc. of Tarrant County, and Vantage Point, working together to strengthen communities and inspire the next generation through leadership development, civic engagement, and meaningful connections.

We're excited to see where this journey takes these incredible students! ❤️
