Re: Mixed sports summer camp for 13-year-old
Highest possible recommendation for Plantation Farm Camp! We have 3 girls (11, 12, 13) who all rate Plantation Farm Camp as a 100 on a scale of 1 – 10! It is a 3.5 week sleep-away camp for boys and girls ages 8-16 or so, 2 hours drive from the Bay Area, has been going for almost 60 years, and is run by a couple who are extraordinarily warm, skilled at dealing with kids, solid, values-based, and committed to the emotional health and growth of their campers as well as to their safety, peacefulness, and joy. Mature counselors are hired from around the world, and the kids spend 24/7 out doors except for barn dances in the 100+ year old barn. They also have a commitment to families with varied means and have a great scholarship program. The camp is open to visit one weekend a month all year so you can check it out ahead of time. This will be our 3rd year and, as an over-zealous parent, I have only good things to say about our Plantation Farm Camp experience. Andrea

Re: Mountain Meadow Camp
My daughter went to Mountain Meadow last year and my son went to Plantation Farm Camp. The camps seemed kind of similar yet each picked a different one. While my son was adamant that he wanted to go back to Plantation and is there again this year, my daughter said her experience was fine but didn’t want to go back to MM this year. She enjoyed her time at MM, I just didn’t really feel that she was as connected or felt that camp had as much of an impact on her as Plantation did for my son. camper mom

Re: Farm Vacation Stay
Plantation Farm Camp is a summer camp on a working farm located in northern Sonoma county and it sounds like what you are looking for. Besides its children’s sessions, it has a family camp which would provide you and your family the opportunity to live and work on the farm for four days. During your stay, you have the chance to work in an organic garden, and care for the horses and livestock including cows, pigs, sheep, and goats. The website is www.plantationcamp.com. My husband and I run the camp and are happy to answer any questions you have. Feel free to contact me at kelly[at]plantationcamp.com or in our Berkeley office 510-849-1084. Kelly

January 2006

Dear Parents–If you’re looking for a dynamic, residential summer camp in a gorgeous setting, consider Plantation Farm Camp in Sonoma County in Northern California. Once you get past the name, which for some may conjure visions of that unfortunate chapter in US history, you will discover a marvelous camp experience that is completely geared towards kids and provides loads of fun, stability and community-buil ding in a structured environment. What one hears over and over about this camp are accounts of the wonderful friendships campers forge here and that Plantation is often a pivotal life experience for many. The camp is a 500-acre working farm which features such daily activities as pool and lake swimming, horseback riding, crafts, drama, song, and the ever-popular Saturday night barn-dancing with music ranging from Israeli favorites to 70’s disco to Miriam Makeba’s ”Pata Pata”. There are outdoor games like ”Capture the Flag” and the ”Slip ‘N’ Slide”–Plantation’s home-grown answer to ”Raging Rapids”–and farm chore in the camp’s own organic vegetable garden and with the horses, cows, goats, sheep, kittens and puppies that abound. My thirteen-year-old son, a three-year Plantation veteran, reports that he still enjoys doing the rain and sun dances which ”help” the garden grow, and picking the big, fresh blueb erries from the plot beyond.

There is a three-day ”Canoe Camp” for interested campers and the traditional all-camp hike to the nearby, stunning Pacific coastline culminating in ”The Beach Bake” cook-out. Food is prepared by skilled chefs on site and includes fresh produce from the garden, farm meats and vegetarian fare. This is a camp that will be on the front burner in your child’s mind year round. You will never hear the end of it, and for parents who desire their kids to be happily occupied in summer, that’s good. Yesterday, January 16, my son and friends were discussing dreams which have convinced the children that they are in paradise. My son recounted that in his dream he awakened at home on the day he was to leave for Plantation. We drove him to Plantation where he underwent the familiar Day One camp orientation. The campers then had dinner and afterwards moved to their units to enjoy< BR>their nightly campfire. As they settled into their sleeping bags to go to sleep, their counselor said, ”Goodnight. We’ll have lots of fun in the morning.” In the morning, my son awoke and, of course, found himself at home in his own bed. He said he felt very disappointed that he hadn’t actually gone to Plantation! Plantation Farm Camp accepts children from ages 7/8 to 17. John Chakan and Kelly Marston are the camp’s dynamic directors. Camp counselors are carefully-selected, positive, caring individuals who love kids.

There are two, three-and-a-half-week-long sessions at this residential camp. To contact Plantation, write or call Plantation Farm Camp, Inc., 34285 Kruse Ranch Road, Cazadero, CA 95421, (707) 847-3494, or email them at www. plantationcamp.com. Laurie

Sienna Ranch COVID-19 Camp Guidelines

Welcome to Summer Camp 2022! As always, the health and safety of our staff, apprentices, campers, and their households is of the utmost importance. In responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have worked diligently to adapt our summer camp meet or exceed the recommendations outlined by the CDC, Contra Costa County Health Services, the American Camp Association, and Cal/OSHA. We thank you in advance for doing your part to keep our staff, apprentices, campers and their families safe!

Safety begins before camp even starts. We have some additional requirements for our families to complete before the first day of camp, and before arriving at camp each day. Please see our COVID Policies here. The Summer Camp policies will adapted from these School Year Guidelines.

Pick up/Drop Off Policy

Sienna Ranch Summer Camp 2022 Pick Up/Drop Off Policy

Overview:

Camper Drop-Off 8:55 am – 9:10 am

Camper Pick-Up 2:55 – 3:10 pm

For the safety of our campers and staff, we will be limiting the number of vehicles on site by staggering pick-up/drop-off times. Timing will be staggered by last names as follows:

Drop-Off

A-L :  8:55 am – 9:05 am

M-Z : 9:05 am – 9:10 am

Pick-Up

A-L : 2:4=55 pm – 3:05 pm

M-Z : 3:05 pm- 3:10 pm

Parents should stay in their cars at all times (with the exception of PreK Groups).  

Rain or Shine Policy

SHINE (May-September)

Green hills turn golden as the winter rains dissipate and give way to longer, drier days.  Sun protection and hydration are key for comfort here in the warmer months, so we recommend the following five tips any time you see sunshine in the forecast:

1. Pre-Hydrate:  Help students/campers get a great start to their day by dropping them off to the ranch well-hydrated.  Challenge them to drink and refill their water bottle at least once while they are at the ranch and ask them about it when you pick them up.
2. Pre-[sun]Screen: Please apply sunscreen before dropping your child off for program.  Instructors do keep a small bottle of sunscreen in their first aid kits and can offer it to students who wish to reapply during the day.
3. Label Layers: The morning chill burns off quickly and layers are often shed during exploring and games throughout the day.  We do our best to help keep children and their possessions together, but it’s easier to reunite a missing jacket and its owner with your child’s name in it.
4. Check for Critters: Make a head-to-toe tick check part of your post-ranch routine.  Deer ticks are part of the natural Sienna Ranch ecosystem.  Ask your doctor if you are concerned about tick-related illnesses.
5. Hats, yes, Sandals, no: We encourage students to wear sun hats while hiking and playing.  Consider letting your child pick out a hat they want to wear to increase the likelihood of it staying on during program.  To keep toes safe and prevent blisters or splinters from dampening the day, please make sure to send all participants in socks and close-toed shoes.  Students in the Riding and Horsemanship programs have additional horse-safe footwear requirements.

All programming continues, rain or shine.  Some activities, such as Horseback Riding are subject to adaptation when it is too hot and/or humid for the horses to exercise. 

Questions about the rainy weather policy you can read the full Rain or Shine suggestions for more information about how we embrace exposure and the elements.

One day in the life of the camp • Formula of Unity

July 24, 2013

Getting up

The morning began with loud knocks on the door, so the first detachment on duty decided to wake us up. But this is not always the case, sometimes the knock is gentle and kind. It depends on the upbringing of the one who goes to wake the sleeping ones. After all, one of the laws of our camp is: “Every business is creative!”, And the second is “Everyone cares about everyone!” But “creatively” does not mean loudly and sharply. Sometimes the door opens and the representatives of the detachment on duty say: “Good morning, wake up. ” And then the morning starts great!

Exercise

Despite being sleepy and tired from the evening, all the guys went to exercise. Charging, of course, invigorates. Doing exercises in the fresh air, when there is a beautiful lake nearby, and around kilometers of pine forests and plantations of wild berries and flowers, is not only pleasant, but also very useful. As long as the weather is good outside.

Breakfast

After the exercise, which woke everyone up, we went to breakfast, as we needed strength for further classes. Breakfast is usually porridge. Russian porridge is different from Spanish. In Russia, it is customary to cook cereals, and in Spain they are eaten dry, washed down (or poured) with milk or juice. But if you look closely, you can see that guys from other countries have already learned how to eat Russian porridge.

Classes in circles

Mathematical circles are widely represented in our camp, since the main direction of the camp is mathematical. The children are divided into four groups, according to their level of preparation and knowledge of the English language. Classes are divided into theoretical lectures and practice by solving problems.

A small number of project participants are engaged in a humanitarian circle.

MODULE 1

Theoretical lecture

Lectures are held both for individual circles and for all participants involved in mathematics, lecturers from different universities, representatives of both Russia and other countries. Many lectures are given in English, but there are translators in each group, and if something is not clear, you can always get advice. The children get an idea about various areas of modern mathematics and its practical application, for example, in medicine or cryptography.

MODULES 2 and 3

Practice Problem Solving

The core of most math activities is problem solving. Tasks are issued in portions (series). Students solve these problems and personally tell the solutions to teachers, so the guys learn to generate ideas and correctly formulate their thoughts. At the end of the lesson, the teachers tell the correct solutions.

In addition, various mathematical games are held from time to time: carousels, mathematical battles and dominoes, during which the children solve problems by splitting into teams.

In the circle of journalism, we, as usual, had to publish a newspaper issue. I want to note that this is very difficult, as it seems to readers from the outside. During the release of the newspaper, everyone always does not have time for something, so the atmosphere is heating up. But still, our labors are not in vain: the newspaper is published every day.

One group writes articles. The second group releases the next issue. And this is editing and layout. The third group provides everyone with working material, including photographs.

The fact is that in our camp there is a tradition – the law “ALTERNATION of traditional assignments. ” This law should work throughout the camp and in everything. And, according to this law, the detachments must write their articles and bring them to us. But this happens only when the duty detachment responsible for the “chronicle” is a responsible counselor and commander on duty.

Unfortunately, this is not always the case. And you yourself can judge how responsible counselors and guys are! What order of the article in our newspaper? Look carefully and draw your own conclusions.

Lunch

After the clubs we go to lunch with our group.

Free time

We usually have an hour and a half when we can rest. But this is such a relative freedom, because someone goes to additional language classes, someone does squad work, someone finishes the article.

Almost no one had that kind of time today. Having refreshed ourselves, we go to the detachment place, since we still have to shoot the film. It is worth recalling that such activities are associated with the film festival – this is a common collective creative evening affair, the essence of which is the presentation of the best author’s documentaries about the camp. This is a rather difficult job: to come up with a script, think over costumes, make scenery, edit a film. But it’s also very interesting, I think everyone would like to make their own film or star in someone else’s.

And here is the long-awaited freedom! As soon as we “filmed” everything, we split up with the detachment, since then it was a “matter of choice”. This means that everyone chooses what he will do: go in for sports, learn languages ​​or just relax.

Common cause

Then we go with our troops to the “Rope Course”. It is called rope because the detachment moves around the camp, holding hands, as if the rope was tied in knots. The purpose of this organizational and business game is to check to what extent the detachments rallied and how successfully the team building process went. It was a pretty dangerous business. The course consisted of six stations: “banana”, “free fall”, “running on the waves”, “walk of the blind”, “log”, “web”. For example, at the station “Running on the Waves” everyone stands in two lines, face to face and puts their hands on each other’s shoulders. After that, one person must go through the hands of the entire detachment. And so each member of the detachment in turn. And at the station “Brevno” it was necessary to imagine a burned-out bridge across a mountain river over a huge abyss, the team had to quickly move from one bank to another, leaving no one in trouble. At the same time, to transport an invaluable special-purpose cargo that could not help itself either with hands or feet. But here’s the problem: there are no logs to restore the bridge, and it was decided to use one’s own body for this purpose. And this is how the cargo was delivered to its destination through the bodies.

Detachment time

After a rather dangerous course, we return to the detachment place and now we are editing the films shot during the day. And already with the finished films we go to the film festival.

General evening work

To begin with, each squad had a special task to prepare for closing. I will tell you that each case is prepared by a special group, the “Council of Cases,” where a script is invented and assignments are distributed. Some decorated the concert hall, others came up with bundles (games, small competitions) that were supposed to be in the pauses between film screenings and, of course, there was a finale. Of course, there were stars such as Robert Downey Jr., Steven Spielberg and many others. My colleague, journalist Sofya Zima, describes this event in the following way: “There was nothing! Love story, comedy, horror… And now everything is almost ready, it’s time to start. The hosts took the stage and introduced the famous jury. The trailer of the first detachment began to be shown, then the film could not be included due to technical problems. But this only intrigued the audience! After that we played some famous games: “Simon says”, “Aram-zam-zam” and others. It was fun. Then the screening of the film of the second group – Love Story with elements of Comedy started. We laughed enough at such an interesting and even true love story and, of course, everyone was touched by a happy ending.

And finally, we see the film of the first detachment, which we could not watch for so long. It was a beautiful montage of Girls VS Zombies horror with a sweet and unexpected ending.

The film of the fourth group showed the guys the difference between pessimists and optimists. Who is better to be? Everyone had to think about this and draw their own conclusions.

The Fifth Squad told us the story of the “Walking man” whose legs are constantly moving. He could not sleep peacefully, stand near the mirror, and even just put on his socks! It’s an insanely funny movie, one of the best! Everyone laughed heartily.

The film of the sixth division surprised us with its originality and showed us true love and the ability to fight for our adoration. Even if this object of adoration is a broom.

School No. 4 has a summer camp with daytime stay for children “Solnyshko”.

The second week the schoolchildren spend their summer holidays in an exciting way. Morning starts on a sunny wave0025 4FM ”: This is the name of the school radio. The guys do exercises, getting a charge of vivacity for a fruitful and eventful day.
Every day in the camp is interesting in its own way. At the beginning of the shift, the GIMS inspector of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia talked with the guys on safety in water bodies, specialists from the Center for Medical Prevention talked about the opportunity to strengthen and maintain health in the summer. Library classes dedicated to AS Pushkin’s birthday were held. Every day, schoolchildren visit the Voskhod Palace of Culture, where they watch funny films and study in circles.
Every day high school volunteers hold thematic interactive events. As part of the events dedicated to the Year of Ecology, the Games Fair program, the Patchwork Quilt intellectual eco-game, the Ecos quest marathon, the Fart Track team test game, and the dance- plantation”, interactive game “Red Book of the Saratov region”.

The camp has all the conditions for a full-fledged summer vacation for schoolchildren, their moral and physical education.

***
A “medical landing force” from the Saratov Regional Center for Medical Prevention has landed at the Azimut sports and recreation camp. The specialists told the middle-aged and older children about a healthy lifestyle, about how important it is for athletes to observe the daily routine in the summer, alternate training and rest, while not forgetting the basic rules of personal hygiene.
With the young men of the senior detachment, the psychologist also talked about interpersonal relationships and respect for girls, about the physiological and psychological changes taking place in the body of a teenager.
Such conversations, – they believe in the SOCMP, – are extremely important for children, for educating them in independence and responsibility for their health.
