New Ropes Course Offers Thrills and Challenges

One thing you’ll never see me do is a ropes course. That’s a hard no. I draw the line on my sense of adventure when it involves heights, ziplining, or jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. Some people chase adrenaline; I prefer solid ground and a good view from below. That said, adventure hasn’t always looked the same for me. A very long time ago, I spent time at Camp Lula Sams, back when I was a Girl Scout. I was one of the lucky ones who stayed involved all the way through high school, and, looking back, I realize how special that really was. Our troop leader was a retired widow with a bold spirit and an adventurous heart, and she had a huge influence on us. She encouraged us to try new things, be brave, and say yes more often than no. Thanks to her, I remember being a fearless 17-year-old, pitching tents everywhere from McAllen all the way to Edmonton, Canada, one summer. No hesitation. No fear. Just confidence, curiosity, and a sense that we could handle whatever came our way. These days, my idea of adventure might look a little different, but the lesson still sticks. It doesn’t matter how old you are or where you draw the line on your personal comfort zone. Adventure isn’t one size fits all. Just get out there, try something new, and enjoy the ride--both feet firmly on the ground if you prefer--no harness required.

Thank You

he view from the 40-foot-high tower at Camp RIO in Brownsville can inspire while also requiring the necessary courage and will to overcome its height. The tower goes by “the Treehouse” at the nature-based camp and is the centerpiece of a High Ropes Adventure Course on an 85-acre site that for decades was called Camp Lula Sams. What was once the major Girl Scouts camp in the Rio Grande Valley is today providing a premier camp and adventure experience for people of all ages. Its biggest and newest attraction is the tower and its high ropes course. It features a series of suspended obstacles like pedestrian bridges and zip lines that hang suspended 25-to-40 feet off the ground. At first glance, it looks perilous, but before ascending the tower, participants go through a tutorial on how to use metal loops (called carabineers) to safely attach themselves to wiring while navigating their way through the multi-faceted ropes course. “It’s pushing yourself past what you think you can do,” said Alexis Wooderson, who manages the Camp’s ropes course. “Sometimes people get here and don’t think they can do because it’s really high. By encouraging them and allowing them to take the lead, you can see them grow and gain confidence in their abilities.”

Overcoming Fears

The ropes course at Camp RIO was constructed and opened earlier this year with the help of a nearly $600,000 quality-of-life grant from the Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation. A September grand opening included remarks from Brownsville Mayor John Cowen and marked the addition of the kind of facility found at elite camps around the state and country. “It was always something we wanted to have at the Camp,” said Mary Barba, the curriculum and data coordinator for Camp RIO. “It’s been on our wish list since we opened.” The new ropes course is located just west of the main campus

January 7, 2026 • Welcome Home WINTER TEXAN CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 site. The tower looks over a caliche road on the drive from the Camp’s main entrance off Fish Hatchery Road in north Brownsville near Alton Gloor Boulevard. Wooderson describes the ropes course as having “a little bit of something for everyone.” There are tires and swaying pedestrian bridges with ropes and netting that are among the elements to be explored high above ground level. It can look more than a little imposing, especially when a fear of heights is a challenge to be overcome in taking on the course. The safety of participants, however, is the top-of-the list priority for Wooderson and her staff when helping young and older participants alike enjoy the course. There’s a thrill of trying something new that’s more than a bit daring. The realization afterward of succeeding can be exhilarating. Wooderson concedes she had fears of her own starting out, saying she was “nervous about heights,” and points to her example as to what can be overcome. “You learn more about yourself,” she said of mastering the ropes course.

“Something They Haven’t Done Before”

Camp RIO is nestled amidst native Valley habitat and is accredited by American Camp Association. It is owned by IDEA Public Schools. The Camp is often used by students from IDEA and is also open for visits from other area school districts. The facility is open to the general public two days a week and available for individual and group activities-by appointment. The Camp is located at 280 Fish Hatchery Road in Brownsville, and its main phone number is 956-204-0036. The Camp’s natural setting makes it worthy of a visit. Ten of the Camp’s acres are available for activities, with the remaining 75 acres protected in perpetuity under a conservation easement administered by Valley Land Fund. Those 10 acres of activities include the ropes course, with a towering rock wall to scale, and an 80-foot-long zip line to provide adventures and thrills. Taking on the ropes course is usually a group activity for students and adults alike. It can be a good exercise for building teamwork and collaboration in groups, as participants encourage each other to make it through the maze of activities offered throughout the ropes course. “It gives a chance for people to conquer their fears and an opportunity to work together in building stronger teams,” Barba said of the group activities high up on the ropes course. “They challenge themselves individually to do something they haven’t done before.” •

Spotted in the RGV South Padre Island by Eryn Reddell Wingert

If you are of a certain generation, you may know this native Texas wildflower as the buttercup. That is just one of its many common names. According to the Native Plant Society of Texas, it is also known as Pink Evening Primrose, Showy Evening Primrose, Mexican Evening Primrose, and Pink Ladies. A little trivia about the plant: In more northern locations, it blooms in the evening, but in more southern locals, it blooms in the morning.

Hello Travel Friends

Christmas Cruise 2025: Kicking Off the Holiday Season in Style

Sarah Denzer, Tour Manager

Dear Travel Friends, This was the third year in a row we took a group to The Dickens on the Strand Festival in Galveston, and the second to add a cruise to the itinerary. This eight-night travel package started out with three nights in Galveston before hopping on Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas for a five-night getaway in the Gulf. Our adventure is a little bit different every year because we like the trip to be unique for everyone. The theme of this travel package is always the holidays, which makes for a lot of fun experiences unique to this time of year. To switch things up a little bit, we started the Galveston fun off seeing A Christmas Carol at The Grand 1894 Opera House. The building was gorgeous inside, and the talented performers blew us away with their incredible voices and captivating acting skills. It was the perfect kickoff to the Dickens on the Strand Festival we attended the next day. This was the 52nd year for the Festival, and we all enjoyed The Queen’s (Victoria) Parade, great street vendor snacks and the myriad of musical talent everywhere we turned on the Strand. While in Galveston, we also did some historical touring, enjoying the beautiful holiday décor everywhere. There was always a delicious meal on the schedule, as well. We stopped at Moody Gardens our last evening to enjoy the Festival of Lights. We strolled around the twinkling displays of Christmas lights, listening to holiday music and enjoying the crisp air. It actually felt like Christmas time. When asked about the balance between activities and down time, one traveler said, “Yes,

it was wonderful to have some time to relax. The perfect amount of activity.” Everyone was ready to escape the chill in the air when we boarded our ship at the Port of Galveston. As soon as we made it out to the middle of the Gulf, the sun was shining and the Caribbean vibes took over. With our nightly dinners, we were able to catch up with each other and get to know new friends. We stopped in Costa Maya and Cozumel and enjoyed a few relaxing days at sea together. I can’t confirm or deny that Santa and his elves were on board our adventure. However, I do know our guests received special surprises daily, including little stocking on their doors-filled with goodies--and fun throughout the trip. “They weren’t expected, but they were cute surprises, knowing the girls were always thinking of us,” one traveler explained. All travelers agreed the extras, like our Ugly Sweater Cocktail Party on our last night, and all the time spent together added to the value and enjoyment of this travel package. “Each day was another surprise, totally unexpected but appreciated,” one of our travel friends said. These travel packages are designed to be one busload, and that allows us, as hosts, to really get to know everyone and make sure needs are met. I love spending time with all of my travel friends on these longer trips because we have a little more time to chit chat and learn about your backgrounds, hometowns, and life stories. This trip is already on the schedule for next year and has filled up very quickly the last two years. So if you’re interested, give us a call soon and get your spot before the bus is full! Next year, we’re switching up the trip with our five-night cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas after our fun-filled three nights in Galveston. It’s the perfect way to kick off the holiday season and Winter Texan season every year. Check out w e l c o m e h o m e r g v. com, or call the office at 956-687-5115 and ask for Sarah or Travel Kristy. •

Largest Indoor Kite Fest in the USA Returns to South Padre Island Tie One On ~ One More Time!

Special to Welcome Home Winter Texan

t’s winter, and the South Padre Island indoor kite performances are back! That means it’s time to head to South Padre Island and watch kite fliers from across the country as they “tie one on” for two fun-filled nights of amazing performances. Mark your calendars for February 6 – 7. Each night will have its own unique theme. Friday night kicks off with The Magic of Motown, where fliers will bring to life the magic of Detroit City as they perform to music from their favorite Motown artists. Saturday night will honor music legends as SPI Kite Fest presents The Legends Live On. What a lineup! Debuting for his first time on SPI is the 2025 American Kitefliers Assn. Indoor Single Line National Champion Rich Cairncross (Media, PA). He will be joined by Brett Marchel (New Boston, MI). Brett was not only captain for Team USA at the 2024 World Kite Cup in Berck Sur Mer, France, but he was also an alternate pilot for the special-effects kites at Epcot Forever, the Disney’s nighttime fireworks show in 2019-2020. The young and energetic 2022 Wildwoods International Indoor Champion, Adam Shutsky (Baltimore, MD), will be returning, as will many other talented indoor fliers: Paul de Bakker (Oak Harbor, WA), Amy & Connor Doran (Seattle, WA), Marc Conklin (Midlothian, VA), Jim Cosca (Fort Washington, MD), Paul Lamasters (Germantown, MD) and Torrey Lindemann (Dunedin, FL). These amazing fliers will show off their kite-flying talent as they hit the floor with their choreographed routines to a mix of your favorite songs. If you have never been to an indoor kite performance, you don’t know what you’re missing. These kiters are the best of the best and the reason the SPI Indoor Kite Fest is the largest indoor kiting event in the United States. Tickets for the Indoor Kite Exhibition are $15 per person or $25 for both nights. Seating is limited, so tickets must be purchased--or reserved in advance--at B&S Kites. Tickets are not available at the door and must be picked up on or before January 25. For more information about the Indoor Kite Fest and sponsoring hotels, contact B&S Kites at 956-761-1248, by email at spikitefest@hotmail.com, through our website at spikitefest. com, or by visiting the SPI Indoor Kite Fest event page on Facebook. So head on over to South Padre Island the first week in February; you’ll be happy you did. You’ll not only get to experience two amazing shows with your friends, but you just may realize you are never too young or too old to “tie one on!” •

Island Trails

Special to Welcome Home Winter Texan

The trails of South Padre Island are calling your name. January on Texas’ Best Beach brings the kind of weather that invites you to wander. With mild temperatures hovering around the 70s, it’s the perfect time for comfortable, relaxed strolls along the Sea Turtle Art Trail, the jaw-dropping Sandcastle Trail, and the scenic Laguna Madre Trail. The Island is all about the rescue and awareness of the endangered Kemp’s Ridley Sea Turtle, which led to the creation of the Sea Turtle Art Trail, where nature and art beautifully intertwine. The trail is comprised of 13 sea-turtle sculptures, each designed with a unique charm by talented local artists. Next to the sculptures, you’ll find information on the artists and their unique design inspirations. The Sandcastle Trail features 30 sand sculptures located throughout the Island, sculpted by professional sand artists-some local, some from as far away as Singapore! Many of these sculptures are traditional castles, while others are themed for the businesses and organizations where they are located. The Laguna Madre Nature Trail invites you to slow down and enjoy the quiet--yet breathtaking--natural wonders of the Island. Stroll along the boardwalk as it winds through coastal wetlands and spot graceful shorebirds flying above the waters. It’s a peaceful, wild, and scenic escape into the essence of the Island’s natural beauty. Everyone deserves to see awe-inspiring art. We made it easy for you, your friends, and your family to find the sculptures along the sandcastle and sea art trails. Stop by the South Padre Island Visitor Center to pick up a South Padre Island Art Trails map. This winter, take advantage of the adventures and new sights to see on the trails of Texas’ Best Beach!

Don’t Lose the Awe by Branden Freeland

S A S AN NT TA A M MA AR R II A A

BULLRING 2026

I am very blessed and honored to pastor at two parks, Fig Tree and Park Place, both in Harlingen. And, on top of that, my amazing wife, Sheila, and I are missionaries to Mexico with SONshine Ministries. Just to say God is good is quite the understatement, and to be able to help so many people daily on both sides of the border is such an amazing and unexplainable blessing for sure. Recently, we took a group of men from our churches in the USA down to Mexico to deliver commercial stoves--as well as food and many other items--to one of our churches that provides one of seven feeding programs for children. It was such a busy day, and we visited many people and places, just doing what we normally do. However, I was missing out! Now I didn’t even realize it was happening, but God…thankfully… opened my eyes through the men I brought along. You see, I have become accustomed to God doing amazing things on a daily basis. Also, I had become quite used to being in Mexico and being around the people we work with and the poverty--in comparison to American prosperity. The men who were with me had been across and helped us many times, but this time was different. This time it was a bit more humbling and eye opening. One of the men brought over some wiring and old outlets and switches he donated from a remodel job, and when he gave them to one of our pastors who does our construction work for us, he was very ecstatic to receive such a blessing and just went on and on about how great a blessing it was to receive. Just some wire and old outlets and switches. It was something that would have been thrown away in the U.S., but to him, it was a treasure. The giving of this blessing--along with everything else--was overwhelming and left a

God thinks enough of each one of us, and not one of us is trash to be discarded. But in the hands of the Master Builder, we are a wonderful creation! If you have breath in your body, then God has a purpose for you. You are special to God, and He loves you so much that He sacrificed His prize possession, His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. He did it so we might believe in Him and not suffer eternal torment but rather live eternally, worshipping and serving our King.

RC Racetracks: A Bit ‘o Heaven for Enthusiasts Submitted by Cindy Jonet, Bit-O-Heaven RV Park Resident Special to Welcome Home Winter Texan If you are a true Winter Texan, you are well aware of the many local RGV remote-control (RC) racetracks in the area. Most are located in 55+ RV parks and run a program at least once a week. I’ve lived in the Bit-O-Heaven (BOH) RV & Mobile Home Resort in Donna for the last five years; I’m originally from Northeast Wisconsin. When my husband and I purchased a home in the Park, minimal improvements were being made to the RC racetrack. When new management stepped in, my husband and I--along with one other resident--asked to take the track over. With a $1000 donation from our park owner for startup money, the two men were undertaking a huge task. Needless to say, that money didn’t last long. My husband, Larry Jonet, and our great friend, Ivan Zettle, had some improvements in mind, but funds were an issue. With both guys being from Wisconsin, dirt-track racing was in their blood. Ivan even turned his farmland into a RC track for him and his three sons to race. One local couple here at BOH has been a great asset and supporters of what we now call Bit-O-Heaven Dirt Devils RC Track. Jamie and Sheri Gideon are the owner/operators of The Weenie Wagon, which provides a menu of hot sandwiches, chips, and soda at our track. The races start by 6 p.m., so our drivers and spectators can grab a reasonably priced meal

before the races start. We are very appreciative of their track support every week. So Ivan and Larry were hot on the trail for anything any park residents wanted to get rid of, and they had some good “junk” we scooped up. Within a short time—but through hot Texas Two TVs are available so days--the track was shaping up. Digging dirt, drivers can see the race class, burying conveyor belts, improving lighting lineup, lap speeds, and results. around the entire track, spraying weeds (and without their ants), and lawn mowing were all part of the process. I developed a Bit-O-Heaven Dirt Devils website for knowledge, as promoting the track, looking for sponsors, donations, and the first few were anything residents thought we could use at the track. I races not without am amazed at the items that have been donated from our The Bit-O-Heaven Dirt Devils RC Track residents. Before long, we were able to make a few bucks issues. We all is beautifully maintained by the great RC when members. to install new lights above every driver’s table. Then we know aren’t purchased a lawnmower to make things somewhat easier; things going right, it reflects through driver turnout. We appreciate after all, we’re all retired! Our old computer system was giving us all sorts of problems, everyone who stuck with us; we now run the program like a so we took the plunge and purchased a new one. We are well-oiled wheel! By the end of last season, the storage shed where we kept fortunate enough to have two gentlemen who are computer tables and other equipment was in bad shape, and the floor gurus Jerry Lewis and John Guerra. Jerry updated the race program and donated a state-of-the-art printer. John sets gave out. We shopped around for pre-built sheds, shipping up and announces our weekly races. Our track would be lost containers, and anything else that would work. We ended up

Customized treatment. Powerful results.

Welcome Home WINTER TEXAN • January 7, 2026 hiring a local builder to construct a new shed, right where we wanted it placed. As a result, this season we started out $800 in the red. Last season, we were registering about 25 drivers, and the record we are looking to break is 99 cars! We started racing early this year and made enough to pay off the $800, thanks to the generosity of sponsor donations. The project for this year was to extend the drivers’ stand to make room for the computer, printer, and announcers. Now that that’s done, it’s a great improvement. We no longer have to battle the Texas winds when printing off race lineups. Now we are working on track lighting, and our driver stand really needs a coat of paint. I will reach out to the locals for a paint donation and someone to paint or spray the area. Keeping this track going with constant improvements is truly a labor of love. If you have an RC track in your park, you know exactly what I mean. We’ve had more park residents get involved in working on the track since last season, and it makes a world of difference having the extra helping hands. Our program runs every Wednesday, with the gate and registration open at 4 p.m. Registration closes at 5:30, and races start at 6. We charge $10 to register up to three cars and $5 for each additional car--up to five total. We run 10 classes of cars, which include

4x4, sprint, late model, short course modified mud boss, Trax box stock modified, 2-wheel closed, 2-wheel open, street stock, Trax late model, and Losi sprint. Coming to our races is free, and if you’d like to try RC racing before buying a car, we have cars to lend out so you can try it out. Just ask one of our track maintenance guys, and they will get you started. Most RV parks run similar classes so the drivers can run on the nights of their programs. If you are interested in joining the RC tracks, there is a website called RGV 55+ park RC Racing, run by Jim Davis of Alamo Palms (which races every Tuesday; gates open at 4 p.m., registration closes at 5, and races start at 5:30). This website posts the dates and times of other RC tracks, and any special events coming up. I’m extremely proud of what Bit-O-Heaven Dirt Devils RC track has accomplished since we took it over. The compliments we receive from our weekly drivers do not go unnoticed. Also, we have many new sponsors who have provided monetary donations; this is greatly appreciated. Our track would not be what it is today—successful--without each and every one of you. Please support your local RC tracks and help us break the car count of 99! We look forward to having more drivers and spectators every Wednesday night. •
