Day at Camp Groupon Special Event

Two weeks ago, Camp Balcones Springs launched its Day at Camp special through Groupon! On Friday, April 18, the Retreat at Balcones Springs opened its doors to children and families for a “taste of camp,” previewing our summer programs with a day packed full of camp activities! Our guests zip-lined across Lake Ted and took a dip in its cool waters, flying off of the Blob and down the slide to cool off. Guests also took a shot (or two) at the CBS riflery range, in addition to enjoying family-style camp meals in the Rio Grande dining hall. We were so glad to welcome all of our guests to camp—even if only for a day—and we hope we see more of you this summer! Visit the Camp Balcones Springs’ website to find out more about all of our summer programs, and join in the fun!
