My son hasn t stopped talking about camp since he got in the car. So many wonderful stories to share with us about his many experiences.
The Sunday morning speaker about your purpose really made an impression on him; he was almost able to quote the entire speech to me! He really clicked with one counselor- it was like he could tell he was always on his side or something. Age 10 and he said mommy, I really took care of myself this year sunscreen, teeth, no blisters or bites! I cannot imagine the tough jobs of these camp leaders the late nights of these sugar shack raids and hiding and pretending etc- man, that s a lot. And the kids just LOVE it. Somehow you ve found a balance of absolute fun and that grounding that makes childhood so magical.

Camp Balcones Springs and The Retreat at Camp Balcones Springs are magical places. All of the staff are so very kind and helpful. The facilities are lovely. The whole experience feels personal. My children had a wonderful time when we visited-- watching them run along the water, being tailed by the sweet camp dogs, under a canopy of large trees, with the sun shining on us will forever be one of my most precious memories.
