Friendly Competition

Every morning after breakfast, our campers start their day off with Team Competition, AKA “Team Comp”. This friendly competition includes games like kickball, mini soccer, O-Ball, Nuke Em, and Steal the Bacon. The winners of each game earn their respective teams (Rough Riders and Silver Spurs vs. Texas Rangers and Lone Stars) points toward a head start for our highly anticipated Amazing Race at the end of the term.

Our current team competition score is:

Texas Rangers and Lonestars: 24

Rough Riders and Silver Spurs: 10

The Texas Rangers and Lonestars continue to advance their lead!

Featured Activity Highlight - Sailing

Sailing at CBS has been a favorite for years. Campers learn how to plug a drain, drop rudder, raise the sail, put in the daggerboard, and rach and gybe! We have had great wind every afternoon and each team of campers has practiced manning the rudder, and of course watching out for the boom. Our beautiful, brand new Aqua Finn sail boats were delivered from Charleston, South Carolina, on May 31st!

There are few thrills that match that of sailing on our deserted piece of Lake Travis! A mix of calm and adrenaline! A quiet lapping of water against the hull and all of the sudden tension in the sail as a gust of wind catches and the boat rushes and surges forward!

Evening Program Highlight - Powder Puff

On Sunday night, our Senior Camper, Ladybird, and O’Connor girls took the field for the Camp Game Day powderpuff game, a fierce matchup between the Silver Spurs and the Lonestars. As the sun shown a deep gold in the afternoon sky, the girls left everything on the field.

All other campers spectated the game, cheering, boasting handmade signs, and enjoying sideline snow cones all the while.

In a close game, the Lonestars came out on top with a final score of 14-7, earning three more points for their team.

Following the game and dinner, campers watched the Mexico vs. England World Cup Game! Our campers went to their cabins, showered, and came back up to the gridiron in fresh pajamas and carrying their blankets, pillows, and sleeping bags. They settled and tuned into the game. Excitement was high and campers were on the edge of their seats as cheering and gasps ensued throughout the match.

From signs and sideline snacks to bright lights and big wins, it was a day full of team spirit, intense sport matchups, camp tradition, and plenty of phun!
