About Camp Aranzazu

Camp Aranzazu is dedicated to enriching the lives of children and adults with chronic illnesses and disabilities by providing unique camping, environmental studies, and retreat experiences to groups with special needs. This mission is accomplished based on an ecumenical understanding that, as people of God, we are called to demonstrate love and compassion for one another, and responsibility for our environment.

I, Kimmi Norvell, have experienced this mission first-hand when I volunteered to teach yoga for campers in August of last year. I was immediately intrigued and impressed at all they were doing for the children. I was inspired by the joy and appreciation all the campers showed me and the camp counselors. This inspiration blossomed into an idea for a wellness retreat and with the helping hand of all the volunteers, has come to a reality. We thank you for taking an interest in the growth and vitality of such an awesome host facility like Camp Aranzazu. All proceeds from the Camp Aranzazu Wellness Retreat & Benefit will go back to Camp Aranzazu as they are in the process of raising funds for a health center. This is going to be a place where children can come to camp to receive dialysis, chemotherapy and other various treatments in a more inviting and comfortable environment than a hospital.

About Camp Aranzazu Wellness Retreat & Benefit

Camp Aranzazu is located off FM 1781 about six miles from Rockport, Texas adjacent to Copano Bay on Live Oak Point. With the rich, climbing oak trees hanging over paved and dirt paths to the stained glass windows of the Sanctuary offering a peaceful practice space, the quiet camp grounds provide the perfect enchanting atmosphere for a wellness retreat. Imagine waking up to a sunrise meditation or gentle yoga practice followed by a delicious and fulfilling vegan-vegetarian breakfast. Camp Aranzazu Wellness Retreat & Benefit intertwines physical practice with workshops, presentations and vegan-vegetarian meals. If you need a break from activities or a personal intermission, spend the time getting a massage, Reiki therapy, health and nutrition counseling or reflexology at an additional cost. Check out the scenery at Camp Aranzazu in the photo album below!
