Friendship born to last
Friendship: a tying bind that never breaks no matter what life may throw at you or the distance that separates you from one another. A personal definition, if you will. When I think of friendship, camp automatically comes to mind. Some of the most awe-inspiring people that have entered my life were the people that I walked through those red gates …
Camp Counselors: more than fun and tanning!
Working at camp as a counselor is not just about having fun in the outdoors while getting a great tan. There are many, many soft skills that are exercised and honed! As evidence, the Aug. 13,2016 Wall Street Journal reports that companies across the U.S. say it is becoming increasingly difficult to find applicants who can: communicate clearly take initiate …
A Day in the Life of a Heart Counselor
The past two summers I have spent at Heart O’ the Hills and it has been absolutely incredible. Coming to an American summer camp as an international counselor, I had no idea what to expect from this experience. Will it be like The Parent Trap? When you arrive at HOH, the two weeks of orientation kick off in introducing and …
It’s the most CHARM-ing time of the year!
When we first bought The Heart 40 years ago, one of the sweetest traditions we inherited was that of sending a Christmas gift to the “Earlibirds”.

In October 1976, the Ragsdale and Moore families bought …

Riflery at The Heart
Howdy! My name is MaryFrancis Benning and I am the Adventure Sports Coordinator for The Heart. I grew up in the wilds of west Texas in El Paso. While I didn’t go to traditional summer camp, I did go to ranch camp where I learned how to shoot guns as well as bows and arrows, I learned how to rope, …
Swim Little Heart Girls, Swim, Swim!
G’day from down under! Heart O’ the Hills is a magical place where your girls get to experience activities that they would never usually be exposed to in the lifestyles they lead outside of camp. My favourite activity – and this may be biased – is swimming! Now I know what you’re thinking, the girls have plenty of opportunities to …

Why Our Camp Values Are Important
I’m Cristi Lee and I have been working at camp for more than 20 years now. During the “off-season” I am a teacher in Kerrville so I come to you from the perspective of a camping professional, an educator, and now a mother with kids at camp. One of the many reasons that I continue to spend my summers working …
