Why Sports Matter At Circle F
Ben Moss
At Circle F Dude Ranch Camp, we’re known for our wide open spaces, horseback riding, and classic camp traditions, but there’s another part of life on the ranch we’re just as proud of –sports.
From basketball to soccer, volleyball to tennis, tetherball to disc golf, kickball and more, our campers have tons of ways to stay active and play as a team. We believe sports should be part of the mix for both girls and boys. Not just because it keeps us strong and healthy, but because it builds something even more powerful –confidence.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve never made a basket or served a volleyball before.
At camp, you get to try something new without the pressure. No tryouts. No judgment. Just a chance to give it a
go.
Leadership. Teamwork. Sportsmanship.
We also know that not every camper wants to ride horses. That’s why variety matters. Having the freedom to try different things makes every day feel fresh and gives campers more chances to discover what they love. Whether they’re playing a quick round of tetherball with a bunkmate or joining a full-on soccer scrimmage, campers get the space and support to move, play, and thrive on their own terms. Plus, campers develop real skills like leadership, teamwork, and sportsmanship through pick-up games and friendly matches.
At Circle F, sports aren’t about winning. They’re about showing up, having fun, and realizing what you’re capable of on the field, on the court, and far beyond.
