SonRidge Farm Day Camp 2013
Prior to camp check your BLOG for any updates.
This is a working farm. No flip-flops, sandals, or open-toes shoes of any kind are permitted at camp. Shoes with heels are not appropriate. Cloth or mesh shoes are discouraged as there will be work around water troughs and possibly mud. Bring clean shoes to change into when you are leaving & bring a plastic bag to put your farm shoes inside so you do not soil your car. Your shoes will have germs and bacteria on them and you do NOT want to contaminate clean areas.

Your shoes will have germs and bacteria on them and you do NOT want to contaminate clean areas.
You will need to bring a pair of work gloves each day. There are black widows in this area. If you find one, we KILL it; we do NOT just sling it away. Alert a farm worker if you find one.
Do NOT wear hairspray, perfumes, or any large flowery objects. These tend to attract bees. We are suspecting that some neon colored shirts do the same so be prepared to change shirts if this appears to be a problem.
Apply sunscreen before
arriving at the farm. You may bring sunscreen (labeled with your name) to
reapply late morning. Each day will consist of much work outdoors in the sun. A hat/cap (labeled with your name) is
advisable.
You must bring an emergency bag each day with a change of clothes including undergarments, socks, and shoes. Include a plastic grocery bag for wet or soiled clothes. There are many instances where a mishap, completely out of your control, could constitute a desire to change into fresh clothes. Please have this bag labeled with your name.
Remember to bring your bag lunch (labeled with your name) each day with at least 2 drinks (also labeled with your name). Lunches and emergency bags will be stored indoor in the air conditioning. Be careful that you only take YOUR drink or food labeled with YOUR name. While water is sufficient, we advise at least one drink be a juice or electrolyte type drink. Snack bars (labeled with your name) are a good idea. A dispenser with ice water will be available outside at any time. There will be a snack shack open periodically each day where campers can purchase items; most items are $1 or less, except for ice cream.

*Monster/Red Bull/ and
similar “energy” drinks are prohibited.
Be aware, and make your camper aware, that caffeinated drinks can lead
to dehydration. Sodas with caffeine
should be consumed only on a limited basis.
There will be opportunity to taste cheese, butter, and ice cream. If there are any food allergies/intolerances (esp. to dairy or eggs) please advise the farm workers & counselors each day at drop off in addition to having noted this on the registration form.

The schedule of activities
each day is subject to change according to the weather. Be aware of the weather
forecast and come dressed prepared to work in light rain.
You will be updating your
blog daily at camp. You will choose photos to add each day. While you are
allowed to bring a camera (labeled with your name) be advised that a farm
worker will be taking many photos throughout each day, of each participant.
Families are welcomed and encouraged to bring cameras on Family
Day. PARENTS: please take
the time to view AND COMMENT ON your child's blog EACH DAY. They
especially enjoy finding comments during the day when they stop by a computer
to check their blog. How sad it is for a child to check his/her blog and
find that no one has left a comment. Don't let this happen. Send
your child's blog address to family and friends and ask them to comment daily
during camp.
Due to the shear volume of
photos and the high quality we are shooting images at, we will be uploading ALL
photos of ALL campers to www.photobucket.com
From this site you can download any and all photos (and videos) of your
choice. *The link to the
specific camp week will be posted on your child’s blog and the link will be
sent in an email to you, after camp is over*
Cell phones are allowed
for emergency situations; however, the use of cell phones during camp is
prohibited, even as a camera. Should a
child need to call a parent from their cell phone a counselor will escort the
camper to make the call and then the phone must again be “put away”. At previous camps we have had a problem with
some campers using their cell phones to text during camp. Texting, tweeting, and calling during camp is
prohibited.
You are assigned to
one specific dairy goat, and one specific kid (baby goat), for the entire week. You are part of a team; Remember what
team you’re on and who your partners are. For many activities and chores you
will be assigned according to your team number.
While the beekeeping lesson does NOT involve actual contact with the bees, please be informed that there are many stinging/biting insects about this time of year.
2013 FREE Family Days on the Farm:
June 29th - Saturday 8-10am
July 27th - Saturday 8-10am
