Sign your child up for an adventure this summer!


Through activities like Canoeing, Gaga Ball, Human Foosball, Bazookball, Escape Room, Crafts, Swimming. Exploding Watermelons, nature hikes, and more, campers will learn new skills and teamwork.

Many kids are now comfortable sitting at home on their devices. What if you could provide your child with a week of outdoor fun that they will love!

Every camper joins a team led by camp counselors who care about them and want to make their week special. Each team spends the day playing, learning, and taking on challenges while earning points. We are a unique ranch and camp with animals kids get to interact with and fun games and challenges like exploding watermelons and horse rider princess. Every Thursday we host a "Water Day". We rent water slides and we host a water balloon and water gun war. Our campers make new friends, try new activities, overcome fears, and have fun in a safe and caring environment. This will be our ninth summer of camp at Big Red's Ranch.

Who Are We?

Camp Photo
We are a non-profit organization committed to Strengthening Families and Fighting for the Fatherless through events and camps. We host these events to provide a fun day for families to create memories together. Our events are staffed with volunteers and all of the entrance fees goes to cover event costs and to improve the ranch for future events and camps. Each summer with the help of our volunteers, our "Big Red Founders" (monthly donors), and our camp sponsors we were able to provide camp opportunities and scholarships for kids from the RGV. Growing up here we know the need for camp and hope to provide this opportunity for more kids each summer.
