Using an experiential approach in conjunction with outdoor and adventure activities\, the Ranch helps those it serves focus on keys that lead to the continued development of character\, integrity\, positive relationships and\, ultimately\, to making even a greater positive impact in the world around them. \nWhat are Foster Care Adventure Weekends?\nFoster Care Adventure Weekends run throughout the year are designed to give youth in foster care (ages 7-17) a chance to challenge themselves\, grow\, build strong relationships\, share incredible experiences and create lasting memories. All this is done through the transformative power of an outdoor adventure environment that acts as catalyst to stimulate individual and sibling self-efficacy\, connection and purpose. \nDuring their time at the Ranch\, campers will be part of a group of 8-10 campers. Each group is led by two or three professional Camp Staff/Guides who work with and facilitate the group through the daily routine. Campers stay in the Wilderness Lodge\, learn basic camp skills\, cook over an open fire and participate in a myriad of activities from climbing to boating to ropes courses\, as well as evening bonfires and other activities. These experiences are designed to foster the development of belief in their capabilities\, grit\, purpose in serving others and to develop and strengthen healthy connections. Daily themes\, competitions and special events led by the camp staff are conducted to add to the campers’ enjoyment of the experience. \nContact your Case Worker to get registered today! \nApplications MUST be completed by the Case Worker. \nApplicants’ Case Workers and Primary Contacts (Guardians) will receive an email from the Ranch confirming their enrollment. \nYouth are not officially enrolled until the confirmation email is received. \nFor more information about the Ranch or this program\, call the Ranch office at 573-775-5513 or email Brett Bailey at bbailey@kvc.org.
