Girls Camp

Girls Camp is all about friends! There’s no better way to make those lifelong BFFs than living in community, playing alongside each other…even doing dishes and feeding horses together!

After morning prayer, breakfast, and flags, it’s off to two-morning activities such as horseback riding, fishing, archery, or riflery. Lunch and break time give mid-day rest, followed by one more program block. There’s plenty of time to hang out and talk, write letters, and do crafts. Evenings are active with camp-wide activities such as capture the flag, counselor hunt, or other great games created just for Tecaboca. Some evenings, girls try their hand at cooking over an open fire and learn outdoor cooking tricks.

Girls attend daily mass, participate in morning prayer, and a late-night prayer before bed.

The bedrock statement for Tecaboca Girls Camp is “Mulier Dei” … be a Woman of God. Girls grow in Leadership, Honesty, Integrity, Humility, Fortitude, Loyalty, Obedience, and living in a Spirit of Service. As Proverbs 31:25 directs us, “She is clothed in Strength and Dignity,” which is the scriptural base of this camp program.

In this camp, there are cabin groups of eight similar aged campers and two counselors. This group forms an important part of a camper’s community. Campers try all activities, and two-week campers are able to refine their choices to their favorite ones.

The Remuda Camp has as their primary activity getting to know about horses and other barnyard animals, increasing riding skills, and developing a day to day understanding of caring for animals. Girls live in a covered shelter, much like the open airline shacks where cowboys lived in the past, or a tent. All campers sleep on a cot. Of course, these girls 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 girls

Girls live in tent units, with up to 4 girls 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.
