Day Camp Information
experiences will lead to growth in character, skills, personality and social relationships that
you as a parent can see. The goal is high! It will require these items:
QUALITY PROGRAMMING - An effort will be made to provide your child with planned,
supervised activities which will be both varied and creative. We achieve this through utilizing
horses and a ranch environment.
OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP - We seek to develop a staff that is caring, providing
individual attention and loving every moment spent with the campers.
PARENT’S COOPERATION - We can build and improve only with your help. A starting point
is to read this information carefully. Then, if you have any questions don’t hesitate to call
us!
We are happy to have your child in The Flying “G” Ranch Day Camp Program. We trust it
will be an enjoyable time for your child ... and you!
Lunch & Snacks
Please put names on all lunches. Refrigeration is available upon request.
Drinks and snacks and 'Lunchables' are available to campers at our “General Store”. It is
operated on a pre-paid credit basis. You as a parent decide how much your child may
spend for the whole camp and deposit that amount into their credit on the first day of camp (
usually $3 - $5 per day). We then keep a card of their charges and return any left-over
balance to you on the last day of camp upon request. Unclaimed balances are automatically
put into our scholarship fund to help needy families provide great riding experiences for their
children.
Daily Activities
A variety of daily activities will help us meet our purpose of character, personality and skill
development. These activities promise to be
...ENJOYABLE and ENDURING (great fun that lasts)
CREATIVE and CHALLENGING
INTERESTING and FUN
Campers are all together for some activities such as Bible Studies and skits. Most activities,
though, will find them grouped by age or riding skill and rotating from one program area to
the next. Activities range from one-half hour to one hour in length.
Those Wonderful Horses!!!
Some campers come the first day a little afraid of horses or with no experience. This is to be
expected and our well trained staff do everything they can to work with each camper at the
level they are at, and help them to develop a love for horses and improve their riding skills.
Campers with more experience with horses will find their time spent here rewarding and
challenging as well.
The actual length of riding time will vary from day to day.

Clothing &
Personal Belongings
Each camper should have a back-pack or sturdy bag, with their name clearly marked,to
keep their personal items in. Dress is casual, comfortable, but modest. Campers will be
participating in crafts and sports so expect clothes and shoes to possibly get paint, water or
a little dirt on them. This is camp and we HAVE FUN!!!!
CAMPERS MUST WEAR CLOSED TOED SHOES EVERY DAY. Sandals, sling-backed
shoes or clogs are not allowed except during water sports time. Tennis shoes or boots with
a low heel are recommended for all horse activities. We advise campers to wear long pants
while riding. Campers usually wear their long pants in the morning and bring a pair of shorts
and sandals to change into in the afternoon.
No radios or electronic devices of any sort are allowed. If you wish for your child to bring a
cell phone with them please advise to staff so we can make sure the phone is placed in a
safe place while campers are doing sports are other activities that may damage the phone.
