CAMP LOCATION: We are located 15 minutes north-west of Regina, Saskatchewan. Dallas Valley is on a large plot of land with much diversity. There are hills, trees, a creek, dugout, and the typical prairie flat land.
CAMP FACILITIES: Dallas Valley has 3-5 different camps that run simultaneously.
Our site has a swimming pool and hot tub (summer camps only), climbing wall, high ropes course, challenge course, beach volleyball, basketball, human foosball, dugout with zipline (drop into water) and floating toys, archery ranges, riflery ranges, paintball fields, riding arenas, fire pits, and many trails.
Main camp has 15 cabins, a nurse's station, the Hub (building used for instruction and chapel), the Ranch House (dining hall and rec room), and a Lodge for our support staff in the summer and adult guest groups throughout the year.
Conestoga has 9 covered wagons, the Rumble Wagon (dining hall), a nurse's station, and a coverall building (used for morning chapel, and instruction).
Adventure Point is one large building that sleeps 28, 14 on each side, with a dining room and kitchen in the middle.
From mid-June - September we run summer camps for families, seniors, and children.
September - mid-June we host a variety of guest groups.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Through fun and friendships, our camp programs emphasize the development of self-esteem, physical and interpersonal skills, as well as spiritual values.
We take time every day to spend time learning about God, in chapel and cabin reflections. Our activities start with a Bible verse/challenge, which shows that the Bible is relevant in daily life.
Cabins consist of 7-10 campers of similar age, with a cabin leader and possibly a leader in training.
Main camp is for campers ages 9-13.
Junior campers ages 9-10 travel to each activity in cabin groups, and get to try most things once. Horseback riding they do for 1 hour, 4 days a week. We have a cabin leader in every cabin, and try to have a leader in training in most cabins for these weeks. The cabin leaders and LITs travel with their cabins and instruct activities.
Intermediate campers ages 11-13 get to choose 4 activities to do throughout the week. They get put into activities at random, and get to know campers and staff from other cabins. Cabin leaders and LITs get put into 3 activities that they either help with or teach, and get one off.
Conestoga campers ages 13-17 choose 3 activities to do throughout the week. They do not get to choose swimming, as they do this as a group. There is one wagon leader in each cabin, who will teach or help with 2-3 activities/day.
Xtreme campers do a lot of paintballing, as well as mountain biking and boarding. They do many activities as a group, as they are Dallas Valley's smallest camp.
Golf Camp, has an instructor who teaches technique, and helps campers improve on their skills. They will stay at Conestoga in the wagons and do skill training at camp, but are also taken to a local golf course to work on their game. *Campers must bring their own clubs*
Girls Getaway, is our newest addition for 2016. It is a girls only camp, in which girls get to be girls. They will try camp activities, but also have time to relax. Many different skills will be brought to this camp, that won't be available at our other camps.
Western Riding features an emphasis on western horsemanship and gymkana with training in horse management and advanced riding skills. You may request permission to bring your own horse. An overnight Trail Ride through the Boggy Creek Valley to the Colhoun Ranch in Flying Creek Valley is this camps highlight.
Barrel Racing campers learn how to properly pattern their horse on the barrels, horsemanship skills, bits and tack, and other camp skills. Campers will practice the pattern daily. They will also do drywork away from the barrel pattern in order to learn what their horses need to know to make training on the pattern easier for horse and rider. The use of different bits and proper saddle fitting will also be covered. At the end of the week there will be a Sask Barrel Racing Association 'barrel jackpot' held at the camp in which campers will have the option to compete. *Campers must bring their own horses for this camp. This camp is open to girls only.*
CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: May long weekend is our staff training, in which all of our program staff must attend. Leaders in training will get to learn to teach skills/activities, find out what camp is all about, obtain job descriptions/requirements, and learn so much more. During the summer the LIT will work alongside a cabin leader in a cabin with the campers, and may have other jobs throughout the summer.
CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Our campership fund is available to help those who can't afford to pay the whole price of camp. We like to give every child the opportunity to come to camp. We do require a form to be filled out with references.
FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): 60+ friends camp- For those campers who are young at heart.
Family Camp- Campers aren't old enough, or parents just want to go to camp. You get to experience camp as a family.
