"Amazing!" is what I have to say about the first week at Circle F summer camp 2013!


Ben wanted everyone to know his thoughts when I asked what he was feeling:
 “This has been an action packed first week and half of camp.  We have a great team of counselors working with this year’s campers who continue to give their all to make sure each camper has a truly special summer.   In just 10 days campers at Circle F have experienced hayrides, theme park trips, cook outs, camp outs, and so many activities that I can’t list them all here.    This has been a great kick off to a full summer of fun and I can’t wait to meet all of the new and returning campers in our upcoming sessions.     We have a motto at camp that you give 212 all the time.   It means that water boils at 212 degrees but 211 its just hot water.   To make it special you have to give that extra degree or little bit of hard work.     I can tell everyone we are truly having a 212 summer thanks to the hard work of the counselors and the excitement of our campers " See what I mean it's AMAZING here this summer.
Ben has really worked hard to help all the staff be ready for the campers.
We had a great staff training week and everyday we all have been so very prepared to work through each program Katie our program director has planned for our campers.

I hope all of the Moms & Dads have had time to visit us on Facebook or logged in to Bunk1 to view the photos capturing every special moment that has been going on here everyday.

It's hard to believe the first session is almost over. We all have been practicing for the first Rodeo of the summer and our drill team is the best ever. The fun that happens is added to by some of our counselors who were once campers themselves guiding new youngsters in the Circle F Summer Camp traditions along with the new and improved programs headed by Katie.
Path girls even did an overnight that is always filled with stories that last a lifetime. So if you haven’t had Mom & Dad sign you up for this year at Circle F you better hurry call Kris I would want to miss seeing you this summer!


See ya Jessie…

Circle F summer camp 2013 has started!


Hi girls & boys Moms & Dads we're back! Circle F summer camp 2013 has started and we are all so excited to be at the place we love the most.

Our new Program director Katie says 10 for 2 that's 10 months of school and everything else we have to do for 2 months of Summer camp at Circle F the place we dream about all year.

This year there has been a very big change Outdoor Education that means all winter schools have been enjoying Circle F outdoor programs especially designed for team building and challenge courses. Logan (that's right) our Logan now lives full time at Circle F creating special classes for schools to bring students as part of their learning experience to the camp. I hope you have all been keeping up on Facebook so you know Paul got us an Alpine Tower! It is an unbelievable experience. I even got to climb over Thanksgiving. Along with the Tower we also got Swing by choose that lets each of us decide when we want to let go and swing. So Circle F Dude Ranch is now open all year round for all different types of groups needing Outdoor Education.

Getting back to Katie she is so much fun the ideas she has for us this summer are so exciting everyone of us can't wait till we get to help you all enjoy them. Her energy level is catching she is always ready for fun. We all just love she has joined our family. Of course there are some old timers back which we are also so happy about. Chris Moon is head of boys along with John new to us but someone who has had this role at another camp.

On the girls side Aya is back and Jessie who I know you will absolutely love is heading up girls. Make sure to say hi when you get here.

I almost forgot we have a new baby horse for those who haven't seen him on Facebook " Scout " is really a fine looking colt, he eats plays & sleeps.

I love getting to play with him. Sherry & Linda are really good about teaching all of us wranglers how to take care of him. Chip & Bolt ( his older pals) look all grown up when they play together. It is so unbelievable to see how big Chip has gotten in just one year.

Every area deserves a story about what's new this year so check out the weekly blog to see what's up.


Until next timee


Yee Ya Jessie
