Circle F Dude Ranch Camp Reviews

Spring break was quickly approaching and the last thing that I wanted was for my child to spend it indoors, watching me work from home. We took a tour of the ranch and I could not help but to take notice of the great variety of different activities, appealing location, and super friendly staff. Making the decision to ultimately allow my 9 year old daughter, who is also my only child, to be away from me for multiple days/nights was extremely difficult. Her and I had never been apart aside from her occasional overnight stays with her Grandma! However, I just knew that she would be in great hands and would be able to have a brand new experience away from me smothering her as I always do. Despite receiving constant updates from staff, I did not sleep well while she was away and worried constantly even over the littlest things such as her being a picky eater! In the end, I realized that ALL of that worry was for nothing! LOL. When I picked my daughter up, she was over the moon! She LOVED IT! It soon hit me that she was actually fully ready for an overnight camp...it was me who was not ready. Despite being shy, my daughter even made a good camp friend who she speaks on the phone with regularly! Thank you, Circle F, for showing my daughter what an AWESOME camp is all about and for being so helpful to me during that week :) You all are amazing!! There is not a day that goes by that Cora does not talk about her amazing camp experience and she looks forward to returning in the future!! I am confident that her 2nd time around will be a little easier on me :)

We've been sending our granddaughter for 6 years. This will be her 7th. She loves going there and can't wait to get there. The experiences at camp have been fantastic. This is where memories are made

My 8 eight old daughter loved this place so much she didn't want to come home...She said the only thing that was made about camp was leaving.

camp grounds are awesome, my daughter was very pleased with the ropes course.

Outstanding staff. I can't praise Mrs. Taylor and Junior enough, they totally made my daughter's entire trip and went waaay above and beyond to put a smile on a 5 year old girls face that she will remember for ever!!! These two single handedly made this trip such a memorable experience for us and didn't have to.

Wonderful!!! We all enjoyed the weekend immensely despite being sore. Only issue is rotation schedule. Although everyone attending pays the same price, adults are not calculated into numbers & time allotted for each activity (alpine tower). Kids were told they d have to choose 1 activity (climb or swing) at that!!
Additionally, when horseback riding, we were not aware we needed to inform the staff ahead of time
that many had riding experience & would ve liked to go faster than a single file line walking.
Overall, we loved it but felt there was some miscommunication about what we needed to expect.
Perhaps adults could be offered a spectator price instead of participant price to alleviate frustration of timing restrictions.

Circle F is more than a camp to my three kids. It's a second home. A second family. A place to look forward to all year long. A place to grow and explore. A place to be in nature, be with old friends, make new friends. A place where they always feel safe, looked after, and where they fit in. The horses, the blob, the paintball, the crafts, waterfront, the archery - those are all incredible but what this camp has beyond that is heart. From the administrators to the counselors, there's no place like home, and home, in the summer at least, is Circle F.

Game changer for our 15 year old son. He came back from camp more confident and calmer. He had experiences we could not give him. Highly recommend.

As a former camper and staff member, I would highly recommend this camp. The atmosphere, the friendly faces, the amazing memories and friendships that are formed here are the ones that you will hold onto for many years to come

Very worth it. Clean, well run, awesome Staff! We came from Miami for a day trip, when you first enter the ranch you think its going to be small (gate is small), but it opens into great facilities and areas set up for absolute enjoyment without the distractions of cell phones, laptops, bad drivers etc. The kitchen is well ran, it is very clean, very organized. The activities are the same, whoever owns this camp is a top notch Captain! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We will be back....even if its just with the wife!
