Summer is fast approaching, so it is time to start figuring out how to entertain your kids for the 12 weeks of school vacation. Luckily the Club has the answer…Cordillera Ranch Summer Camps!  This year we are featuring 5 NEW CAMPS, totaling 13 different camp formats!  The Clubs’ camps are staffed with enthusiastic counselors and provide a great outlet for your kids to learn a new hobby or sport, create lifelong friendships and get out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors.

New Camps – New Fun – New Traditions!
2012 brings with it 5 new and exciting camps and creates more diversity in our camp line-up.

Girls Camp: June 5th – 8th & July 10th – 13th
This camp is just for, you guessed it, the girls!  Centered around everything that girls enjoy; swimming, sports, arts and crafts, dress up, team building, and horses, just to name a few.  This camp will let the girls express their free spirits with some song and dance and most importantly, allow them to just be themselves.

Boys Camp: June 5th – 8th & July 10th – 13th
We can’t just let the girls have all the fun, our Boys Camp is all about team work, adventure, and sportsmanship!  Boys Camp will feature fishing, archery, climbing, building and caving along with much more.

Swim Camp: June 12th – 15th & July 3rd – 6th
Our Swim Camps feature two different formats.  Our first camp dates will be held at the Clubs’ pools with our Water Safety Expert teaching, organizing, and coaching all campers to swim at a higher level.  Our second week of Swim Camp is for the intermediate to advanced swimmer.  It will incorporate travel to local, pools, lakes, parks and recreation centers so that kids can swim to their heart’s desire!
