Kidz Klub Strathearn

Teen Ranch weekend trip Friday 20th August 2010 – Sunday 22nd August 2010

For campers who are 10-17 years (or nearly 10) at date of camp

Teen Ranch is a ‘’very’’ popular weekend at Inchture, half way from Perth to Dundee. The Teen Ranch diary is already filling up for 2010 and 2011. As Kidz Klub, six of us went to Teen Ranch in 2008 and 26 in 2009, so we have booked 40 places for 2010. This is not only on a first come first served basis, a deposit of £10 per child, but if you book promptly, it helps ensure we don’t loose any of our spaces. The minimum age for Teen Ranch is 10 by date of camp (or nearly). This will be the 8th year I have taken children.

WHAT IS TEEN RANCH?

Teen Ranch Scotland is a Christian Youth Activity Centre with emphasis on the physical, mental and spiritual development of young people. The purpose of Teen Ranch is to provide a great time away for the young people through the activities they have on offer, but the main reason for their existence is to share the Christian message with all who come. They do this in a period each day called ‘Time Out’ which is a compulsory part of the program. For further info see www.teenranch.org.uk

ACTIVITIES

Horse riding (T.R.S.S. approved centre); Canoeing, Water Slide & Flying Fox; Archery; Air Rifles; Mountain Biking, Outdoor & Indoor Sports & Games including Basketball, Unihoc, Volleyball, Football and Badminton, Pool Table, Table Tennis and outdoor Trampoline. Teen Ranch provides supervision for these activities, as appropriate and organises the whole program from the Friday evening through to Sunday lunch. Children are responsible for any money they take for Tuck Shop, the purchase of Teen Ranch souvenirs or to donate for the support of other Teen Ranches around the world. Any clothing left after camp will only be kept for 2 weeks. It is your responsibility to telephone the Teen Ranch Office on 01828 686 227 within this time period so that you can retrieve them.
