Boys Camp

Boys Camp is fast-paced from the wake-up bell to til "the day is done, gone the sun." Going to activities such as horseback riding, swimming, kayaking, woodshop, discovery, archery, and riflery still leaves time for fishing, fossil hunting, ga-ga ball, tetherball, soccer, and many other non-traditional games. Cabin life gives boys a chance to live in a community and learn to take care of their space and get along with other campers. Evening activities are full of energy with team competition in sports, capture the flag, counselor hunt, and games only known to us at Tecaboca!!

Boys learn some skills around a cookfire, progressing from hot dog meals to foil dinners and eventually more complicated outdoor cooking.

Boys attend daily mass or communion service, participate in morning prayer, and a late-night prayer before bed.

The bedrock of Boys Camp is the emphasis on “Esto Vir” … be a Godly Man by exhibiting …. Leadership, Honesty, Integrity, Humility, Fortitude, Loyalty, Obedience, and living in a Spirit of Service.

Boys live in small groups of eight boys and two counselors. The one week program is considered a “try it” type of camp, so boys do all of the activities appropriate for their age level. Evenings find lots of opportunities for camp-wide games, cookouts, and cabin activities. The two-week program allows for additional activities such as participating in challenges and camping under the stars.

The Remuda Camp has as their primary activity getting to know about horses and other barnyard animals, improving riding skills, and developing a day to day understanding of caring for animals. Boys live in a covered “shed,” much like the open air line shacks where cowboys lived in the past, or tents, with a cot to sleep on. Of course, these boys are not left out of other camp activities and enjoy a well-rounded camp experience with evening activities with camp teams, the very popular cowboy night, and campfires with all of the other boys.

Boys live in tent units, with up to 3 boys in a wall tent set on a platform; up to five tents are in a unit, with two counselors in each unit. These groups cook many of their meals outdoors and plan their own activities, both with the Main Camp group and on their own.

Counselors in Training are assigned to a cabin of younger campers. 

• The CIT will spend meals, FOB, evenings, and other times with his/her adopted cabin to assist counselors and learn how to manage a group of campers. 

• The CIT program is designed with elements to teach your young men and women skills to develop them as leaders for not just camp, but for the future as well. 

  • In addition to working closely with a counselor and cabin your camper will work closely with the Camp Education coordinator and attend sessions with the Camp Director to grow in leadership skills. 

• This program more closely follows a camp schedule but will also allow for opportunities to take a break in the day time as well as for special events during the camp program. 

• Campers who return for CIT 2 after successfuly compelting CIT 1 may recieve payment for their work.
