Zajac Ranch Activities

Activities
	Barn & Riding Arena Is there a better way to explore the wilderness than on horseback? A timber frame horse barn was constructed from trees felled and milled on the property, and serves as home to six horses. Here we teach how to care for and groom the horses, and we can also go on trail rides around the Ranch! Participants learn how to handle and move around a horse, and basic western-style riding skills. Our horses have lots of personality, and we can always find the right horse for each rider.
	The Dock A sturdy set of interlocking, bouyant modules creates a safe swimming and watersport enclosure for our guests.
	Canoeing We have ten 8-foot Clipper canoes, enough for 10 children to adventure at a time! Participants learn canoe and waterfront safety, sculling strokes like the pry and draw, steering strokes like the C and J strokes, and how to most effectively splash your friends! Older children and adults who have demonstrated their skills can go for guided canoe expeditions exploring Stave Lake.
	Kayaking We have ten beautiful ocean kayaks. Participants learn how to paddle and steer. As with canoeing, older children and adults who have demonstrated their skills can go for guided kayak expeditions exploring Stave Lake.
	Gymnasium The gymnasium is a great place to play, especially on rainy days. Basketball and dodgeball are just a few of the fun activities available indoors. On sunny days, the gymnasium is still a great place to be, as the doors open wide to the outdoors allowing fresh air and sunshine in.
	Low Ropes Course Our low ropes course was designed to teach participants communication and teamwork skills while having fun! Think you've already got good communication skills? Try them while balancing on a giant teeter-totter, walking down a wire, or being lifted through a giant spiderweb! Our course has seven stations and dozens of games to try out!
	High-Ropes Course A fantastic addition to the Ranch in 2006, our high-ropes course lets kids of any skill or physical ability enjoy climbing, traversing and rappelling under the constant supervision of our trained staff.
	Archery Range Our archery range was constructed with beginner-level archers in mind. The range is equipped with 20 and 30 pound bows, perfect for junior Robin Hoods! Participants learn basic archery skills, safety, and technique.
	Arts & Crafts This activity is for the creative in mind. The Arts & Crafts program lets kids explore their artistic side by creating fun craft projects. Such projects include painting, paper crafts decorating picture frames, and many more fun activities.
	Playing Field The field, donated by Genstar Development Company, is ideal for activities such as soccer, baseball, and other fun team activities.
	*Please note: kayaking and canoeing availablility is dependant upon water levels.

Counsellors and volunteers at the Zajac Ranch for Children are devoted to ensuring that every guest, regardless of their physical ability, enjoys the activites the Ranch provides.
