| Howdy Campers, The Down Home Ranch mini ponies sent out our Camp Holiday Cards this year. We hope you enjoyed their silly Santa hats! Now they are feeling all the love with Valentine's Day quickly approaching! Can you believe Camp is only a few months away?! We are already halfway full for this summer, with only 60 spots left to fill. So, if you have not signed up for Camp, please download the application and get it to us ASAP. As you all know, the DHR Residential program is the heart of our mission. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic the Ranch has learned a lot about how to keep Ranchers and staff safe. Our plan is to apply all of the safety and infection control measures we have learned to Ranch Camp. We will be having six sessions of Camp with 20 Campers per week. The plan is to have four teams made up of five Campers each. Each team will be assigned to one of the four individual buildings we use for camp lodging. Teams will pair up to make two co-ed groups that will be sharing socially distant camp fun the entire week. The two groups will have limited contact with one another, while taking part in all of the planned outdoor fun. Ranch Camp may look a little different this year, but we will still do all the fun things that makes Camp awesome! Also, if you start to get nervous about attending Camp, rest easy knowing that all you have to do is let us know 30 days before your Camp session starts and we will give you a full refund. Fish will still be caught, arrows will still be shot and s’mores will still be eaten. YUM!
