Cowboy Camp Ropes in Summer Fun at the Chisholm Trail Grounds

This past weekend, the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum in Cuero buzzed with boots, spurs, and laughter as local youth saddled up for Cowboy Camp 2025. Held on the museum grounds, the four-day experience brought Texas history to life for campers ages 7 to 12 through hands-on activities that celebrated the cowboy way of life.

From blacksmithing and leather tooling to roping lessons and horse etiquette, Cowboy Camp has offered a variety of hands-on experiences over the years that give participants a taste of the frontier spirit. Campers have even tried their hand at branding—some more successfully than others! With help from dedicated instructors and teen counselors, kids leave the camp with new skills, lifelong friendships, and a stronger connection to DeWitt County’s Western roots.

The camp, hosted annually by the Texas Historical Foundation and the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum, continues to honor the legacy of the great cattle drives and the heritage that shaped this part of the Lone Star State.
