Summer Camps 2023…In the Books With Rave Reviews

By:
Megan Soltis, Communications and Family Events Manager

A wonderful summer was had by the Cordillera Ranch kiddos! We were so excited to offer summer camps to support every child’s interest, whether they like sports (Junior Golf Camp, Tennis & Swim Camp, All-Star Sports Camp, C-Star Games); crafting (Craft Queens Art Camp, Culinary Camp); equestrian (Princess Unicorn Camp, Horses & Art Camp) and/or adventures and magic (Ninja Camp, Outdoor Adventure Camp, Little Mermaid Camp, Harry Potter Camp)!

These camps not only provide a fun experience for the kids, but they also learn new skills, make friends, work on their social adaptations, and see parts of the Ranch that they might not have seen before.

We strive to make sure that every kid who attends camp not only leaves with a smile on their face, but is also able to take along some of the skills and activities they learned on their next adventure.

Summer Camp 2023 was fantastic, and we are already looking forward to next year. As we look back at the fun we all had, let’s hear what some of our campers had to say!

Agronomy

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. 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.

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.
