Opening day included big smiles, Tribe Draw, some scuba 🤣, ice cream, activity sign up, getting her 4 year counselor ring 🙌, some Naynay love, and apparently- a mustache moment inspired by Justin Hawkins. Looking forward to all that First Term holds!

Counselor training = when the ones who are about to pour into 100's of campers all summer get to unplug + get a taste of camp themselves! These are some of the amazing souls who will greet your families tomorrow for First Term Opening Day!! They are filled up and ready to help you (or your kiddos) create the best memories ever. We cannot wait to welcome you into the Vista Bubble!! Let's do this!! 🙌💙💙💙💙

We received the sweetest gift from who has done our Vista Yearbooks forever. When they found out we had lost all of our old yearbooks and old pictures (some dating back to the 20's) due to the flood, our rep Mica jumped into action. They sent us two copies of every single yearbook they've ever printed us as a gift. 🥰💙🙌 Thank you Jostens!!!!

If you, your parents or grandparents have any Vintage Vista memorabilia that they'd like to add to the Vista Vault, we would love to start collecting things to replace what was lost. You can send straight to camp at 175 Rio Vista Rd, Ingram TX, 78025.

Feeling extra blessed as we head into our First Term of the Summer starting Sunday!! 💙💙💙💙💚❤️💛💜

🚨 River Sentry Test Notification 🚨

Tomorrow evening at around 9:00 PM, Vista Camps will be conducting a test of our River Sentry Flood Warning System. This test also serves as a valuable training opportunity for our staff, allowing them to hear the sirens, review emergency procedures, and practice moving to their designated muster locations.

As part of the test, you may hear warning sirens throughout camp. This is only a test and there is no emergency.

We appreciate your understanding as we continue to prioritize the safety of our campers, staff, and camp community.

Thank you!

This campaign aims to help rebuild and continue the Vista Camps mission of providing a safe, wholesome, fun-filled learning experience for every boy and girl. Leading this effort are the campers themselves who will most closely benefit rebuilding their summer home away from home. 💙🤍💚❤️💛💜

Did you know that back in the day- Grandpa Carl Hawkins (and Freddie!) would take a group of older campers to places like Mexico and Honduras?!? Wouldn't you love to hear some of the stories from those trips? If you or your parent/grandparent ever went on a Vista ACE trip, tell us all you know!

NINE DAYS TILL OPENING DAY, FRIENDS!
