Camps are Cool!

We survived the summer heat and as we bid farewell to the summer of ‘22, we wanted to share a few fantastic memories from the camps here on the Ranch!

Many kids learned to ride a horse, cook a meal from scratch, paddle board, draw a bow and arrow and much more through our summer camp programs. We love to watch the kids grow, learn and be hands-on with the many activities we offer. 

The Main Dining Room was filled with the amazing smells of French toast, pasta and cheesecake as our Little Chef’s learned how to make different meals at Culinary Camp. They worked hard as they mixed their fresh ingredients and rolled out their own pasta. Competition was fierce in the C-Star Games Camp as all the kids were eager to win the gold medal. Corah was the fastest in our paddle board races as she timed in at 31 seconds! A new camp we launched this summer was called Little Rancher’s Golf Camp for ages 3 to 6. These little golfers enjoyed lessons on the very basics of golf and seriously took ownership in their game while learning how to care for their clubs and playing in their first mini tournament with their friends. 

Every summer is unique and every summer is fun. This year was no different and we can’t wait for next year!

At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

Amanda Naranjo

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive. I decided to attend the University of the Incarnate Word and major in Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Business. Fusing both my passion for fashion and love for the game of golf, the golf merchandising path was the perfect path for me.
