Deep in the heart of the Lone Star State, known to most as Texas, there are young, daring artists like no others in the world. They call themselves the "Texan Tornado Painters," led by the funniest, friendliest cowboy around, 'Picasso Pete,' who surprisingly, rather than riding horses, rides a multicolored unicorn named Hue. Pete’s cowboy hat is no ordinary headgear. It’s a magical hat that drips a myriad of colors, which he catches with his paintbrush and uses to paint the world brighter. He teaches the Texan Tornado Painters, a group of spirited Texas kids, how to make masterpieces that would make the stars in the Texas sky twinkle in admiration. Whether they're in Houston, Dallas, Austin or anywhere in between, every weekend, these kids dip their brushes in their palettes filled with shades of the Texas sunset, colors of the Bluebonnet flowers, the greens from the cacti and the browns of the cowboy boots. With each stroke, they create art that echoes the joyous spirit of Texas, making the Longhorn cattle moo in approval and the armadillos do a little joyous roll. And oh, these kids don’t just paint; they paint with a Texas-sized gusto, adding laughter and creativity into every artwork. Some say that whenever a Texan Tornado Painter completes a painting, a new star appears in the Texas night sky. So, if you ever find yourself under the Texas sky filled with countless stars, remember that each one was put there by a Texan Tornado Painter, pushing their brush across canvas, under the watchful eye of their leader, Picasso Pete, and his trusty unicorn, Hue.

If you've ever had the privilege of spending your summer at El Tesoro as a camper, a counselor, or contributing in any other role, your presence at our upcoming events will help us commemorate and honor the cherished history of our beloved camp. We're planning to share stories, photos, and precious memories spanning nine decades, and we'd be thrilled if you joined us. The Camp Fire Camp El Tesoro, established in 1934, has been a welcoming haven for generations of campers, with its iconic swinging bridge being a memorable landmark for many. El Tesoro, which translates to "The Treasure" in Spanish, is a 223-acre sanctuary nestled between Fall Creek and the Brazos River in Granbury, Texas. Our camp offers a breathtaking panorama of the serene river and the vast open spaces of the blackland prairie. Our natural terrain and indigenous landscape offer our visitors a much-needed respite from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. This idyllic oasis currently hosts co-ed overnight campers, day campers, grief campers, teachers, students keen on learning about nature, and groups seeking to foster connection and indulge in outdoor adventures. In 2010, Camp Fire First Texas launched a Capital Campaign aimed at renovating and upgrading the facilities at Camp El Tesoro. This initiative is essential to ensure that the enchanting spirit of the camp continues to be enjoyed by future generations. We're committed to preserving and enhancing the magic of Camp El Tesoro, enriching the lives of campers for many years to come.
