One of the most valuable ways if instilling self-esteem into a child's life is through outdoor programs that help children grow and acquire important social, emotional, cognitive, and physical skills that otherwise would not be possible in a classroom setting. In July and August each year, children ages seven through 13 enjoy a traditional residential "sleepover" camp at Circle V. With a choice of six sessions, each 5 days/4 nights- all are filled with activities including hiking, swimming, nature walks, archery, arts and crafts, painting, photography, baseball, basketball, ping pong, foosball, soccer, miniature golf, campfires, skits and songs. Children and their counselors stay in air-conditioned cabins. Three nutritious daily meals are served cafeteria style. All children are fully supervised by caring, trained counselors and long-timed staff. Each session has a theme ranging from "Carnival" to "Medieval" to "Super Heroes" and others that provide even more opportunities to learn, grow, and become part of the Circle V Ranch Camp Family.
