Meet Ryan Dance

Ryan just joined us from the far off land of Seattle, Washington. This new addition is a senior studying Recreation Management at Brigham Young University in Utah. Known for his smiles, never-ending energy, and positive attitude, Ryan can be seen running around TSR looking for more jobs to complete. Excited to be a camp counselor, Ryan’s experience in our area includes being a soccer camp director, a youth group leader, a 2nd grade soccer coach, and a 4H special needs mentor.

Ryan is an avid soccer player, plays the piano, and loves anything with sun, water, and waves. He has a fun family and loves them very much. Ryan loves to include everyone and has a knack for remembering names. Watch out for his jokes… they can be dry. You won’t be dry for too long around him because if you aren’t watching, he might “accidentally” push you in the lake!

Fun Facts:

Yes, he can dance. Anything, everything, and he even brought his tap shoes to TSR

He would never admit it but he is quite the poet and loves to write

He can sing and play the guitar, so ask him to make up a song on the spot!

He is also an Eagle Scout, Search and Rescue Certified, and can pop wheelies and 360’s in a wheelchair!

Camp preparations

Hey campers!

Your camp houses are looking good. There are ping-pong tables and pool tables for some excellent matches, there are HUGE speakers for your not-so-average music jam, there are as many TV’s as you have toes, posters of pro wakeboarders, skaters, and surfers on the walls, and the huge half-pipe is being fixed 10 steps from your front porch. The sand volleyball court is being outlined, the equipment shed is full, and the only thing missing from the houses….Y’ALL. Get excited because those awesome amenities will be yours in only a few short weeks! DVD’s range from Disney movies to action to drama to just plain funny. The fields are being mowed, the deck prepped up, and the sun is being re-hung in the sky to give you an amazing sunset view.

We’ll see you soon!

Your Friends at CAMP TSR

New this year at Camp TSR…. drum roll please…. SPRING LOADED BOUNCE SESSIONS!

Summer Camp just got a little bit cooler this year with TSR’s brand spanking new 15,000 square foot trampoline park.  Wall – to – wall trampolines. Can you handle it?

Get ready to duck, dive and dodge during trampoline dodge ball, train with trampoline boards and bounce as much as your little hearts desire (or until you counselor tells you its time to hit the lake again).  Spring Loaded Camp TSR

Why this is so awesome:

1. DODGEBALL

2. Trampolines on the WALLS

3. A little time away from the hot Texas Sun

4. Trampoline training for inverts and spins

5. Bouncing is cool

360’s, Tantrums, Ollies and More!

He is getting the motions down for a toeside air trick! Alec busted some sweet 180’s off of the kicker, becoming his go-to and signature move!
