Deep in the heart of the Lone Star State, where the sun blazes like a chili pepper in a cowboy's mouth, exists a bustling tribe of merrymakers known as the Texas Tadpoles. These aren't your ordinary tadpoles, though. They're kids from all over the state of Texas, from the dusty plains of Amarillo to the thriving metropolis of Houston, who've swapped their cowboy boots for flippers and their ten-gallon hats for snorkels. Among these Tadpoles, there's one quite special character named Pecos Pete. Pecos Pete is no ordinary boy; he's a freckled, buck-toothed, whiz kid with a laughter as contagious as a tumbleweed rolling through the desert. He's as legendary as the Lone Star itself and is said to have been born during a Texas-sized thunderstorm, which explains his uncanny passion for all things water. Pecos Pete is the undisputed leader of the Texas Tadpoles. He's notorious for his audacious dives and belly flops that send a splash soaring higher than a rodeo bull on a sugar rush! Pete and his team of Tadpoles turn the intense Texas heat into a wild water rodeo, hopping from rivers to lakes, and even the Gulf of Mexico. They swim like fish at the Guadalupe River, snorkel around the coral reefs of the Gulf, and even ride the waves at South Padre Island, turning the Texas heat into the coolest summer extravaganza. So, if you ever find yourself in Texas, look for a kid with a wild laugh, a splash that could drench a cactus, and an army of water-loving pals. You've just met Pecos Pete and the Texas Tadpoles, the champions of Texas underwater escapades!

Cherished traditions like the enduring rivalry between our camp teams (the Cowpokes and the Wranglers), movie nights under the stars at our outdoor Corral Theatre, and the hilariously fun Miss RRR Contest all contribute to creating an unforgettable experience your daughter will treasure forever.
