Summer Camp Third Session Is Funtastic!

Thrilling is how I want to tell you about how Circle F Dude 3^rd Summer Camp session!

 We are all having so very much fun.  The campers are eager to do so many of the new activities that have been created this year at the Summer Camp. Holly the photo teacher and Emily the dance teacher tell us everyday how many kids are taking their classes. Improv that Emily teaches has 15 campers in just one of her classes and the dance team grows every day.

Holly is having so much fun with this group and Brent the new assistant is really very skilled and the kids are excited to work with him as well. Travis was here last week taking bunk photos and campers with one of the horses and all the photos look great.  What a wonderful memory has been created for everyone.

The weather has also been perfect which has added to each day’s fun, kids have been playing soccer with the coach Eli or jumping off the tower and practicing their skills swimming and climbing the new “Wibit” this summer has really been “Funtastic” I’m sure everyone who has been here agrees.

 

I couldn’t write this week without showing off photos taken by Sherry of Kiki getting his first bath! Mom “Girl” was close by making sure her baby was ok.

Also you know how BooWho can be he is so protective of baby Kiki he helped Sherry every step of the way. So take a look at the photos below.

Also Holly and are kids are posting photos to Shutterfly everyday so be sure and not miss out on any of those as well.  Brent was on the boat pulling the banana around and you can see how much fun the campers were having.

As 2^nd session came to a close the banquet was fabulous with great food and songs by campers and counselors Logan and Jarred both sang and so did some of the girl campers. Then it was on to the dance.

This past weekend we had a Halloween party which always amazes me on how creative our campers are with their costumes.  Dancing and games hay rides and “Minute to Win It” have added to the evening program success.

Well I will keep all of you posted on the continuous fun here at Circle F Dude Ranch Summer Camp but if you are planning to spend last session here hurry and call the office 863-676-4113 everyone is waiting to help you!

See ya Jessie!

Amazing that’s the best word I can use to describe the closing events of summer camp second session. Circle F Dude Ranch summer camp is the most “Funtastic” place in Florida and I believe the world!! Campers were here from all over the world Russia, Spain, Argentina and of course Florida. I met so many new young people and had fun learning about their cultures.

The horses are clearly enjoying all the attention they get from all the campers and you can see just how well they respond at the closing Circle F Dude Ranch Summer Camp Rodeo. The drills that were done by a great many campers, under the direction of Logan (head of riding) was Amazing! Just as I said at the beginning everything about the Rodeo was wonderful. First Emily had a group do a dance routine a bunch of guy campers preformed and one even played his electric guitar for all of us. The girls danced as well and they were Amazing!

The English riders were also Amazing clearing every jump with ease!  See what I mean I just can’t stop using that word to describe just how great 2^nd session turned out. 

The banquet the night before had great food; turkey stuffing mashed potatoes and a yummy desert Amazing! Then the awards were given out and everyone got a special gift for just being at camp this year!

Don’t forget to go to our summer camp website www.circlefduderanchcamp.com click the link to Shutterfly to see all the great photos from 2^nd session.

This session’s video showcased at least a hundred stills taken by the photo classes run by Holly. Friday night the kids got to see it in the Round Up before the final dance of the 2^nd session here at Circle F Dude Ranch.  Then everyone who went to lunch on Saturday in the Lasso Lodge was treated to seeing it on the TV. So if your son or daughter attended 2^nd session it isn’t to late to order your very own copy for you and your child to enjoy for years.

Every area of camp was filled with laughter the waterfront the wilderness program where kids caught fish and paintball were a buzz each day with activity! Amazing!!

The art classes run by Deven, Ali and Jessica were so well attended 2^nd session that the projects were clearly enjoyed by all campers who spent time there each day.

I really need to close by telling reminding you we are in 3^rd session! That means if you are planning to attend camp this year you only have one session left!!

So tell mom and dad to hurry and call to set things up for you not to miss out.

Just have them go to the website www.circlefduderanchcamp.com or call

Summer Camp Session 2 - Week 2

Circle F Dude Ranch Florida Summer Camp is going fast and funtastic 2nd session!

So many of the campers stayed from 1^st session and the counselors seem happier the ever as well. The weather has really cooperated so every one of us has been in the lake playing with the Wibit the Summit and the of course the Blob! Every camper just loves the waterfront. But by the end of the first week it is always so much fun on carnival day when the different water slides arrive and the cotton candy machine is started up and we all get to jump and slide on the ball field.

But this past Sunday most of the kids went to Universal Studios and once again the day trip was filled with hundreds of special moments.

Back at the ranch we enjoyed a lazy day which all of us look forward to. Pizza and a movie then we had a dance in the Round up.

Eli the soccer coach brought the local team but the Circle F Dude Ranch team won 1-0! Soccer is loved by so many of the kids that when there is an important game like this lots of campers are on the sidelines cheering our team on.

I so glad that I am here again this year everything about summer camp is just so much fun. This year several of the spring break kids came to summer camp and it was fun to see young people who were here with their families experience Circle F Dude Ranch on their own. I hope campers who are here now tell their parents it would be fun for them to attend a family weekend so they could all experience this wonderful place the way we do.

I hope all of you have been checking out the photo gallery link on the website. Holly has been taking so many photos it’s fun to see what everyone is doing.

Holly and Travis are out and about every day with campers taking photos that they all get to edit and print .

On another note it is also so much fun seeing all the postings on Facebook this year. Seeing parents and former campers following the events has been just great.

So keep checking out the events at camp and if you are still thinking of spending the next few weeks here with us make sure mom and dad have talked to the office 863) 676-4113 and set things up or go to the website for more information.

3rd session of our Florida Summer Camp is almost filled so if you were making plans don’t wait to call.

Take care

Yee ya Jessie!

Florida Summer Camp - Session Two Update

Florida Summer Camp at Circle F Dude Ranch couldn’t be more exciting and more “Funtastic” than it has been this past week. Everyone seems to have more energy then ever. Blake at the waterfront along with Teresa and Hula and of course Molly and the rest of the crew are helping each camper enjoy every bit of the toys like the Wibit and the Sumit and jumping off the Blob. I get so thrilled watching Bubba show the boys in his cabin how to jump really high after they climb to the top of the Wibit. Kevin even did a special turn when he knew we were all watching over 4th of July weekend. Saturday we got to help the campers do extra activities in celebration of the weekend. We even had corn dogs for lunch with burgers and fries.



Sunday was lazy Sunday to start the counselors brought breakfast to the cabins so the kids who wanted could sleep in the it was an all out soccer game or volleyball or basketball you name the game and it was being played somewhere at camp on Special Sunday. Then Sunday afternoon was Carnival Day- cotton candy and lots of water slides. All the campers were having a blast!! I know I was tired by nightfall so I’m sure the youngsters were as well!


Then on Monday we had Special schedule because it was the fourth we even had a dance on the field with music streaming out of the Roundup everyone was dancing and having some good old-fashioned fun. Then Jarred and Mark light special fireworks just for us and we all gathered around to watch.


Logan and Sherry keep us busy at the barn since most of the kids ride regularly. The horses are always so friendly and Spirit and Kiki watch as we go put on rides all day long.


Monday Travis took cabin photos of everyone and yesterday he took all the campers pictures with a horse to be given to them as they head for home at the end of a session.


I’m sure you are getting the idea of how many activities go on throughout the day but we all look forward to siesta then cantina followed by more fun then most of the campers thought possible.


Every night Jarred has a different program planned and I know he posted it on Facebook for all the Moms and Dads to see. It’s amazing how many different events he can think up and the stuff he gets to make everything so special.


I spoke with Tom on Sunday and he promises for next week he will fill me in on his vantage point as head of boys and I promise to tell you everything he says.


Mia is having a great time as head of girls and she said to make sure and say hi to all of you.


This blog wouldn’t be complete with me telling you what Paul has been saying every time I see him. He has been loving how many campers come over to chat and tell him about their day-- getting to know everyone’s name and what they like doing and some special food they tried has made this year very special. He has been busy making sure there is room for every youngster who wants to come to camp. So tell Mom & Dad to hurry as there are only a few spots left

See ya Jessie!
