SBCA Talk: Chad Timmons on Camp El Ranchito on Barton Creek

Come listen to Chad Timmons of Camp El Ranchito. This summer camp takes place on 6 miles of Barton Creek, on the largest contiguous ranch in Travis County at 6,600 acres and 10% of Barton Creek's watershed. The Shield Ranch is committed to conservation in their land management program, and through this camp, that opens up it's biodiverse oasis to local Austin youth from a variety of backgrounds. Camp El Ranchito's mission is to connect children with the natural world by providing an extraordinarily fun and inspiring nature-immersion experience. The spirit of inclusion and stewardship can be seen in all of the programs they offer 10 yr - 18 yr olds. It's an amazing camp with many scholarships available to Austin's families.

Previous to Camp El Ranchito, Chad Timmons worked with Texas Wildlife Association in a role setting up experiences to connect families to nature.

Come anywhere from 6:30 pm to 7 pm to get your food ordered and drinks purchased, and to socialize.
