Summer Camp Session 1 Update


The last week was certainly exciting for the first week of Circle F Dude Ranch Summer Camp 2012! So many new events that were planned turned out to be just what we all hoped.

The Cowboy dance started off the week and so many of the campers and counselors were ready with their cowboy boots and hats. The line dances were lead by counselors who encouraged all campers to get involved.

This year each session will have their own opening and closing “Camp Fire” so that each group can have the experience of being initiated into the Circle F Family. Eleven counselors stood up and explained the different pillar ideas of the Circle F Dude Ranch history. Campers walk quietly and reflect on the beauty of the amazing evening.

This year we had “Color Wars” and the Yellow team won all camp capture the flag. But the excitement didn’t end there. We now have our own “Dunk Tank” which Ben (our Director) was happy to sit in. Paul tried very hard to dunk him, as did everyone else. Adding to all this we now have our own Snow Cone Machine, Cotton Candy Machine and even a Pop Corn machine. This helped everyone enjoy themselves as the played miniature golf, water balloon toss just to name a few of the games that went on all day!

The other new feature this year that I know you are all hearing about is Bunk1

Our photography and email company that this year handles all that for us. I was told that about 360 emails have been coming in just first week! Amazing how many Moms and Dad are loving this new opportunity.

This past Sunday the majority of the camp went to Sea World - Kris was the greatest winning lots of stuffed animals for all the kids. When the campers returned there was over 100 Pizza’s waiting for all those hungry youngsters.

Build a boat was a hit as always for those that stayed behind with Logan and Afton and the new screen with projector for the kids to watch a movie was a real hit as well.

I hope all of you know we have picked the name “Chip” for the cute new baby boy horse and he has even started coming when we call his name. I love how he will chase me when I run by in a golf cart during the day.

Well boys and girls Moms and Dads I promise to keep you posted each week with new events and the updates from Circle F. Happy trails and remember if you still haven’t registered call the office3 at 863-676-4113 talk to Kris, Ben or Sheila tell them Jessie said to call.
