Aranzazu (pronounced Ah ran' zah zoo) is a Basque term that means “a spiritual place requiring a difficult path to reach.” This cache is placed with the most gracious permission and approval of Camp Aranzazu, retreat for children and adults with special needs and chronic illnesses.
History: From 1959 to 1996, part of the current property served as the Bishop Elliott Conference Center, an Episcopal Church retreat facility. Houstonians and camp founders Tom and Holly Forney purchased the first 20 acres in 1997. After spending several years enjoying the property, they decided to share the historically and ecologically rich land with others. Since opening its doors in 2006, Camp Aranzazu has served more than 27,500 campers and their support staff.
PLEASE - BE RESPECTFUL of PRIVATE PROPERTY and do not block the entrance. Cache is a Park & Grab.
Many thanks also to MiMi&PaPaC for creating, placing & maintaining this cache.
