“My child loves Camp Fire!! They absolutely adore the staff and getting to see their friends. The Afterschool Program is amazing. I wouldn't be able to work my full-time job as a single mother without this program, and we will continue being a Camp Fire kid!”

- Kaylee Woods, Annetta Elementary

Dear Camp Fire Supporter, At Camp Fire First Texas, 2024 was a year fueled by purpose—and powered by people. Every spark of effort, generosity, and inspiration from our community lit the path forward for youth, families, and educators across North Texas. Our theme this year, Fueled by Purpose, celebrates the intentional actions that made meaningful impact possible at every level of our work.

Together, we honored our legacy and blazed new trails. Thousands joined us to celebrate Camp El Tesoro’s 90th anniversary—a milestone that earned formal proclamations from Hood County, the City of Granbury, and the State of Texas. This powerful reminder of our camp’s history was matched by fresh energy and momentum across all areas of the organization.

In our Early Education Workforce Development programs, we welcomed our largest-ever cohort of apprentices—119 early childhood professionals on the path to earning their Child Development Associate (CDA) credentials and advancing their careers. For the first time, coursework was offered in both English and Spanish, expanding access and opportunity.

Our Youth Development work continued to thrive. Camp Fire afterschool programs participated in the national Lights On Afterschool celebration, showcasing the creativity, skills, and joy that out-of-school learning inspires. Meanwhile, our Teens in Action program took part in a unique cross-program camping experience at Dinosaur Valley State Park—connecting with Texas Parks and Wildlife staff, exploring career pathways, and deepening their love of nature.

Camp El Tesoro once again delivered a summer full of growth and discovery, and El Tesoro de la Vida grief camp continued to provide a healing space for children navigating loss with courage and connection.

Every step forward this year was made possible by the people who believe in our mission. You are the fuel behind our purpose—whether you gave time, talent, funding, or heart. Thank you for being part of a community that knows every spark makes a difference.

With deep appreciation,

Lisa Mares Board Chair, Camp Fire First Texas

Brian Miller President & CEO, Camp Fire First Texas

2024 HIGHLIGHTS Camp Fire partnered with more than 80 local organizations across Tarrant County to launch Go Beyond Grades, a national parent engagement campaign designed to empower families to better understand student success and become strong advocates for their children’s learning and well-being.

Through a new partnership with Cristo Rey Fort Worth College Prep, Camp Fire welcomed four student interns as part of Cristo Rey’s work-study program, providing valuable professional experience in a nonprofit setting while supporting Camp Fire’s mission-driven work.

Camp Fire benefited from a major volunteer service initiative during Fort Worth Navy Week. Sailors constructed a pergola pavilion at Camp El Tesoro, while a second group completed landscaping and prepared the learning garden for a new season at Diamond Hill Station, enhancing outdoor learning experiences for youth.

In October, the Fort Worth City Council presented Camp Fire First Texas with a formal Certificate of Recognition, celebrating the organization’s long-standing contributions to youth development, outdoor programs, early education workforce development, and community well-being.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT The Youth Development team expanded its reach and delivered high-impact programming for teens, afterschool participants, and summer day campers across North Texas.

Teens in Action (TIA) grew significantly, adding six new sites—Eastern Hills High School, Jaquet Middle School, Trimble Tech High School, Dunbar High School, Morningside Middle School, and the Diamond Hill Community Center. TIA now operates in 10 schools and one community center. The TIA Camp SWAG summer program served 90 unduplicated youth, offering leadership development and hands-on learning.

More than 60 teens participated in the TIA Spring Break Adventure, where students explored zoology careers, visited the University of Oklahoma, stayed overnight at the Oklahoma Science Museum, and toured the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.

Youth Development and Outdoor Connections partnered to take TIA students camping at Dinosaur Valley State Park through the Texas Outdoor Family program, supported by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Students hiked, fished, and learned about conservation careers from park rangers and El Tesoro staff.

Summer Day Camp programs, themed How Things Work, served families at three day camp sites: Diamond Hill Station and Westcliff Elementary in Fort Worth, and Walsh Elementary in Aledo. Enrollment trends included Aledo up 22.79%, Westcliff up 7.84%, and Diamond Hill Station down 33.62% from last year.

Camp Fire now serves 10 afterschool sites with the addition of Lynn McKinney Elementary in Aledo ISD.

EARLY EDUCATION WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT The Early Education Workforce Development (EEWD) team marked a year of significant growth and expanded impact across North Texas.

Camp Fire launched its largest Early Education Apprenticeship Program (EEAP) cohort to date, welcoming 119 apprentices pursuing their Child Development Associate (CDA) credential and college pathways. For the first time, coursework was offered in both English and Spanish, increasing access for educators. The program also celebrated 58 graduates, up from 38 last year.

EEWD hosted national speaker Dr. Sandra Duncan for the Extraordinary Spaces classroom redesign project, giving teachers hands-on strategies to create engaging learning environments. The School Readiness team expanded mentoring with new group coaching sessions and conversations on key topics in early childhood education.

Professional Development efforts continued to grow, with new self-paced online training options being developed for apprentices and School Readiness teachers. These courses will also be made available at an affordable cost to child care providers through Camp Fire’s community professional development offerings.

Camp Fire also launched its first Spanish-language CDA course in March, further broadening access and strengthening support for bilingual educators.

OUTDOOR CONNECTIONS Camp Fire First Texas celebrated a historic year for Outdoor Connections as Camp El Tesoro marked its 90th anniversary with alumni-focused events held throughout 2024. The year-long celebration included sing-song gatherings, alumni happy hours, and the signature 90th Anniversary Celebration Camp Weekend, which welcomed more than 300 alumni and their families back to camp.

To commemorate the milestone, Camp El Tesoro received formal proclamations recognizing its impact on youth development and outdoor learning from the State of Texas and Governor Greg Abbott, Hood County Commissioners Court, the City of Granbury, plus a ceremonial ribbon cutting by the Granbury Chamber of Commerce.

Camp El Tesoro experienced a strong and successful summer season, welcoming 105 El Tesoro de la Vida grief camp, 369 Nature Day Camp, and 1,018 Overnight Camp campers. Youth enjoyed a wide range of outdoor activities, strengthened friendships, and created lasting memories across the 223-acre Brazos River property.

The Texas Outdoor Education Center served 43 school groups and almost 3,600 students this year, and El Tesoro welcomed 24 rental groups with roughly 1,600 guests.

Outdoor Connections also hosted the 5th annual Camp Classic Trail Run, drawing 149 runners across the 5K, 10K and Kids 1K Fun Run, even in frosty 24-degree conditions.

Camp Fire welcomed families to three Family Camping Weekends, including the unforgettable Total Solar Eclipse Family Camping Weekend, which offered guided viewings and astronomy programming during the April 8 solar eclipse— a once-in-a-generation event experienced in the path of totality from Camp El Tesoro.

Vice President of Outdoor Connections Jen Smith represented Camp Fire on the national stage when she was featured on “The Forest Educator Podcast” with Ricardo Sierra, discussing nature-based education and the impact of outdoor learning environments.

Significant facility enhancements also marked the year. The camp’s double-court sports court received a major upgrade thanks to a generous gift from The Jonesville Foundation. The renovation—which debuted during the 90th anniversary celebration—included new shade structures and lighting, expanding opportunities for both daytime and nighttime recreational activities.

Camp El Tesoro Marks 90 Years with a Historic Alumni Celebration Weekend Camp Fire First Texas celebrated a major milestone in 2024 as more than 330 alumni, families and supporters returned to Camp El Tesoro for the 90th Anniversary Celebration Camp Weekend, held Sept. 27–29. The multigenerational gathering commemorated nine decades of outdoor adventure, friendship, and personal growth at the beloved 223-acre camp on the Brazos River.

The anniversary year highlighted El Tesoro’s evolution since its founding in 1934, when the first 90 acres were purchased for $12 an acre. What began with 11 rock cabins and a lodge dining hall has grown into a modern year-round outdoor learning and camping destination, featuring 20 air-conditioned cabins, a 12,000-square-foot equestrian center, multiple pools and archery ranges, a high-ropes tower and zipline, wooded trails, and Lake Leo’s fishing and paddling areas.

Camp Fire Vice President of Outdoor Connections Jen Smith said the anniversary served as both a celebration and a reflection of the camp’s lasting influence. “As we mark 90 years of Camp El Tesoro, we reflect on the countless memories and transformative experiences shared by our campers and staff,” Smith said. “This milestone is a testament to our enduring commitment to helping young people grow, learn and be themselves.”

Alumni weekend guests enjoyed classic camp activities, including canoeing, archery, crafts, the high and low ropes courses, guided hikes, and outdoor cooking along with camp history displays and time-honored traditions. Alumni gathered for a Saturday night BBQ dinner, silent auction, and former counselors and campers reconnected around the campfire with songs and music from across the generations.

A Legacy Carried Forward by the Alumni Committee The 90th anniversary celebration was made possible through the leadership and dedication of the Camp El Tesoro Alumni Committee: Nancy Ankele, Michelle Bush, Denis Cranford, Kim D’Avignon, Mary Helen Franko, Steven Gangstead, Kim Garrett, Toni Hooten, Laurie “LJ” Garner, Elise McConnell, Steve Poulter, Tanner Rohne, Bonnie Schuler, and Bill Tyler.

Their year-long work strengthened alumni engagement, preserved camp history and ensured the weekend reflected the spirit and traditions that define El Tesoro.

Camp Fire First Texas President/CEO Brian Miller said the weekend captured the spirit of El Tesoro’s mission across generations. “This milestone isn’t just about honoring our past; it’s about igniting the potential of future generations,” Miller said. “Camp El Tesoro’s longevity reflects our commitment to creating transformative outdoor experiences that shape leaders, adventurers, and community stewards.”

The 90th anniversary celebration closed a year of reflection, reconnection, and renewed energy for the next chapter of camp history.

As alumni departed the wooded trails and riverside cabins, many shared that while camp has grown and modernized, the heart of El Tesoro remains the same: a place where young people discover themselves, build lifelong friendships, and find community in nature.

Elise McConnell Honored with Sebago Award A highlight of the anniversary weekend was the recognition of Elise McConnell, Brian Miller, President/CEO Alumni and Elise McConnell Committee chair and longtime Camp El Tesoro champion. McConnell’s Camp Fire journey spans more than 30 years—from camper, counselor, and leadership staff member to event chair and key volunteer. Her leadership was instrumental in organizing the 90th anniversary celebration, strengthening alumni outreach, and preserving camp traditions for future generations.

Elise McConnell was honored with the National Camp Fire Sebago Award, one of Camp Fire’s highest recognitions for volunteers who make a lasting impact on camping and outdoor programs. The award recognizes her decades of unwavering service, her commitment to preserving camp traditions and the deep impact she has had on generations of El Tesoro campers.

McConnell attributes much of her confidence, resilience, and professional leadership skills to the experiences she gained at El Tesoro.

“I hoped that at least one of my children would love El Tesoro as much as I had.

Fortunately, as I had three sons, Camp Fire became co-ed. All of my sons loved camp, too. It provided them with the same freedom, I felt, and honed their leadership skills. Now, my grandchildren are beginning to enjoy Camp El Tesoro.”

Denis Cranford Receives Prestigious Luther Halsey Gulick Award for Decades of Service Longtime volunteer Denis Cranford was honored with the Luther Halsey Gulick Award, Camp Fire’s highest local recognition, during a special presentation at the El Tesoro de la Vida Benefit Dinner. The award, named after Camp Fire founder Luther Halsey Gulick, is reserved for individuals whose leadership and service have made an extraordinary, long-term impact on the Camp Fire community.

Former Camp Fire First Texas President/CEO Ann Sheets, a 2021 Gulick Award recipient, presented the honor. Sheets noted the award's rarity and significance and praised Cranford’s unwavering dedication. “This award acknowledges exceptional leadership over an extended period of time. It is reserved for distinguished individuals,” Sheets said.

“Denis is one of those exceptional individuals.”

Cranford has volunteered every summer at Camp El Tesoro de la Vida, Camp Fire’s grief-support camp, since 1993. For more than three decades, he has given up a week of personal vacation each summer to serve as a cabin counselor, mentor, and steady source of compassion for youth ages 7–17 navigating the death of a loved one.

Camp Fire First Texas President/CEO Brian Miller described Cranford as “the embodiment of everything this award represents. You won’t find many folks willing to give up a week of personal vacation to live in a cabin, face the scorching July Texas heat, and support dozens of youth,” Miller said. “Denis does so with pride, humor, and heart.”

After only three years as a volunteer, Cranford became the volunteer camp director in 1996—a role he continues today. Under his leadership, El Tesoro de la Vida has grown from serving approximately 95 campers per week to an average of 120, expanding its reach to more grieving youth across North Texas.

Despite the seriousness of his work, Cranford is known for bringing joy and humanity to camp—joining in playful kitchen raids, donning costumes for the camp dance, and, more importantly, sitting quietly to listen when a child shares the story of a lost loved one.

“Denis has so much passion for the grieving children who attend camp,” Miller said. “He is an asset to the Fort Worth community and beyond.” Cranford’s decades of steady leadership, compassion, and unwavering commitment to young people made him a clear and deserving recipient of the Luther Halsey Gulick Award.

His service continues to shape the healing, growth, and resilience that thousands of campers have found at El Tesoro de la Vida.

An Artists’ Christmas Marks 40 Years of Community Support Camp Fire First Texas celebrated a milestone year as 440 guests gathered for the 40th annual An Artists’ Christmas gala and art auction at River Ranch Stockyards.

The ruby-anniversary celebration honored four decades of community generosity, creative collaboration, and support for Camp Fire’s mission to help young people discover the best in themselves and the world around them. Guests enjoyed an evening of original artwork, gourmet dining, and dancing and live music.

Carley and Brandon Moore served as event chairs, continuing more than 15 years of involvement with the organization. Local business and civic leader Carlo Capua emceed the evening, and musician Josh Weathers rocked the After Party.

The gala showcased more than 50 works of art donated by regional artists, continuing a tradition that has generated more than $8 million for Camp Fire youth programs since the event’s founding in 1984. Guests also enjoyed the After Party, which extended the night with live music, an open bar, and classic campfire s’mores.

As part of the 40th anniversary celebration, Camp Fire hosted two companion events that highlighted the history and artistic legacy of An Artists’ Christmas. In May, retired Presidents/CEOs Zem Neill and Ann Sheets joined Camp Fire leadership and supporters for the 40th Anniversary Luncheon at Colonial Country Club, where guests reflected on four decades of impact and heard from event chairs Carley and Brandon Moore about the vision for this year’s gala. In October, the William Campbell Gallery welcomed sponsors and artists for an exclusive VIP Gallery Night, offering a private preview of the art exhibition with wine, hors d’oeuvres, and conversations with fellow art enthusiasts. The gallery’s long-standing partnership dates back to the inaugural 1985 gala and remains a cornerstone of the event’s success.

The evening also paid tribute to the long history of honorary chairs who have supported the gala throughout its four-decade run, including Ann and Robert M. Bass, Marie and Brandon Chase, and Jake Yarbrough. Attendees viewed a retrospective of the event’s earliest years, including its origins under the leadership of Camp Fire volunteer Sunnie LeBlanc and former CEOs Ann Sheets and Zem Neill.

Camp Fire First Texas President/CEO Brian Miller said the 40th anniversary was both a celebration and a reflection. “An Artists’ Christmas has become a cherished Fort Worth tradition, and this year’s milestone event showcased the heart of this community,” Miller said.

“The support we receive truly changes lives, ensuring youth have access to the opportunities, mentors, and outdoor experiences that help them thrive.”

With record engagement, strong attendance, and a surge of new supporters, the 40th anniversary honored the legacy of a signature event that has shaped generations of Camp Fire youth.

As An Artists’ Christmas concluded its remarkable 40-year run, the evening stood as a celebration of community impact, artistic generosity, and the deep, long-standing support that continues to advance Camp Fire’s mission for the next generation.
