Registered my Granddaughter for this camp this year, she had the best time ever, made great friends and enjoyed the experience fully, wants to go again next year
Went to circle square from the ages of 8 to 14. I enjoyed it the time but now look back at it with trauma. Do you want to go to a dance where you’re paired with a boy to speak about your holy relationship? Do you want to spend every day after lunch in bible study where you’re told you won’t mind being apart from your family in heaven because you’ll be in the presence of God? Do you want to get thrown into a leech infested lake by your counsellor despite having cut your arm open on the skatepark slide the day earlier and told not to enter the water? Or perhaps sleep in a culturally appropriated Tipi infested with fire ants and have to move mid week because your bag is infested. Or maybe get shamed for being vegetarian because “God made animals for us to eat. ” It’s fun riding horses. The counsellors are nice. The general atmosphere and culture of the camp is vile. Avoid it if at all possible. Like I said, it left me with severe trauma.
Thank you so much for an excellent weekend. Our family had their reunion there, from the mom you drove in until the time we left we experienced professional, fun, happy, respectful staff. The grounds were immaculate, the horses were well taken care of, calm and chosen perfectly for each family member. The adults went for a long trail ride, the kids went for a shorter one. Those kids had smiles on their faces for a very long time. The accommodations are kept extremely clean. The best part for me as a grandma was when the staff allowed with guidance and help the grandkids to drive the horse drawn wagon. Thank you for everything. I highly recommend this Ranch a 10 out of 10.
Going to Circle square ranch was a childhood dream of mine and I never got to go. I used to watch the TV show as a kid. I was super excited to be able to send my son's. Now my youngest son calls it his camp and I am so thankful! It is an exceptional camp and I couldn't be more thrilled to be part of it! Thank you for all you do for the kids and for Jesus!
Remarkable time spent just checking the horses out and visiting with the camp directors. Amazing Christian leaders! Thank you Kevin and Cynthia to your dedication of this extremely important ministry to kids and adults alike. Highly recommend a retreat there. Serene, quiet and beautiful location.
