Camp Rio Blanco

Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.
Frank Lloyd Wright

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
Henry David Thoreau

Nature has no mercy at all. Nature says, "I'm going to snow. If you have on a bikini and no snowshoes, that's tough. I am going to snow anyway."
Maya Angelou

50th Anniversery


May 16th, 2009
50th Anniversery Celebration and All Camp Reunion



Join us at camp for a day of fun! Get in the attic and dig out your old camp photos, t-shirts and memorabilia. Bring them to camp to share with others.

We will be putting together showcases for our 2009 summer campers to enjoy while learning about the history of Camp Rio Blanco. We will serve lunch, make a craft, share stories and have fun! April 15, 1958, J.S. Bridwell and his daughter, Margaret Bridwell Bowdie, gave 118 acres of land to Girl Scouts of Caprock Council for a camp. The land was originally part of the Two Buckles Ranch owned by the Kentucky Cattle Raising Company.

During the next year, water wells were drilled, the Old Lodge was built for kitchen and dining room facilities, 21 tent platforms for two tents units were built, three wash and shower shelters and latrines were added. A contest was held to name the camp and Camp Rio Blanco, Spanish for White River, was selected. The then called “Small Lodge” was dedicated in 1959 and the first summer camp was held.

If you would like to attend the 50th
Anniversary and Alumni Celebration, please
call Summer Littlejohn at 806-745-2855
