Summer Camp Update




I have so much to tell all of you about the past week and all the happenings I almost couldn’t decide where to start.
So first I thought I would tell you something about little Chip and his Mom Oreo.


Sherry the head of the Barn and in charge of all the horses & Linda take Chip & Oreo to the other side of the Lake each day to teach Chip how to graze. It also helps get him used to walking on a lead and being handled by people.
Chip always wants to play and his Mom Oreo is always trying to get him to stand still and rest sometimes it is funny to watch.

We sure have had lots of events. The Rock Star dance is always a big hit and The Super Hero Dance as well makes for a great evening. Megan & Afton made sure all the kids were involved and we even had Karaoke the crowd loved it!
Last Friday night as a special surprise we got to see the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Olympics. Everyone loved it and it was exciting for all the campers to have this experience at Circle F for the first time.
Saturday the kids had a blast running the water obstacle course. Jimmy made Lily Pads they are small platforms for the kids to run across. The counselors cheered the campers on and a few of them even tried to do it as well.
Sunday was the excursion to Islands of Adventure I didn’t get to go but was told it was really great fun. Harry Potter World was the favorite of the day for many including Afton  & Ben our director. He told me he had the opportunity to have some fun with the campers.  He visited Harry Potter and got to experience the ride with a whole group of our buckaroo campers it was a nice break from the daily responsibilities of being the camp director.  Afton told me she still loves going on the Dr. Seuss ride with the campers as it makes her feel like she is still a kid. When everyone got back that night we ate pizza and watched the Muppet movie which everyone loves.
Fear Factor at night was the funniest! Aya one of the girl counselors beat Blake Lennon from waterfront and Wipe Out was equally entertaining. The talent show is loved by everyone and many of the campers can’t wait to perform and show their friends what they can do.
Typhoon Lagoon & Lego Land is always a big hit as well. Holly seems to be everywhere so make sure to check out the photos on Bunk1.
Jimmy and Megan stayed at Camp this past Sunday while most of the campers were on the trip. This allowed the rest of us to spend the day relaxing we did a long morning thought and then we broke up into small groups and talked about how important it is to have a good attitude each day when we wake up and we identified things we all look forward to doing. Then we had a long swim and some of us built sand castles and played capture the flag.
Thursday night is the closing campfire then Friday is the Banquet and closing dance. It is unbelievable 3rd session is almost over. So all that’s left of Circle F Dude Ranch Summer Summer Camp 2012 is 4th session. If you haven’t been here yet you better hurry before it is to late.
