Everybody is Somebody At Camp LongHorn

I don't know about you but as a child I remember the excitement of going to summer camp. Our grandson, Trey, is making memories at Camp Longhorn for 2 weeks this summer. We are emailing him through a website they have established and they print out our notes to him and deliver them daily (sure beats sending letters and cards)! It is a co-ed residential summer camp that lies in the scenic Texas Hill country, 60 miles northwest of Austin.

Tex and Pat Robertson founded Camp Longhorn and there are two branches: Camp Longhorn Inks Lake (est. 1939) located on the shore of Inks Lake, along the Colorado River and Camp Longhorn Indian Springs (est. 1975) situated along two lakes fed by natural springs. Both camps offer over 30 activities for children ages 8-16. Trey is staying at the Ink's Lake branch and is thrilled because it is unique in offering sailing!

Fun is number one at Camp Longhorn and is the goal of a large variety of activities that are based on individual achievement rather than competition. Their motto is "Everybody is somebody at Camp Longhorn." I like that philosophy! Not all of this continual fun is easy. Campers and counselors alike gain confidence by being responsible for themselves, from making their bunk to brushing their teeth.

Everyone has told Trey "if you're going to Camp Longhorn, prepare to love it. And be ready for the time of your life, summer after summer. You'll catch the valuable and happy positive spirit that stays with you for a lifetime."

Can't wait to see Trey back from his two weeks to see if everyone is right!
