The country atmosphere at Big Bar Guest Ranch provides a safe and fun environment which is healthy and educational. Our staff is experienced, working with children of all ages and organizing flexible fun programs, with activities to suit your needs. Hands-on work experience is included. Fraser Academy - Big Bar Ranch Round-up In early February the grade eight class accompanied by Mr. DePutter, Mr. Rees, Ms. Temple, Ms. Nelson and Ms. Power headed up to Big Bar Ranch for 3 nights and 4 days of horseback riding, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, tobogganing, and many other fun activities (like being branded on their old pairs of jeans on the last night!). A few excerpts from students’ writing about the experience tell the story: “I had a great time at Big Bar Ranch with all of my friends. My favorite activity was horseback riding because it was fun and new. I was really excited because I have never really done it before.” – Devin “Big Bar Ranch was a big blast for me. One of the reasons was the hospitality there was just amazing. The cabins were really good. The room that I shared with Devin had two twin beds and a bathroom with a shower, a very nice sink and a toilet! They had some great food for us. The last night we were there, they cooked a cow from their farm just for us!!! It was really good!!” - Wesley On the grade eight retreat to Big Bar ranch, we did many fun things. One of these fun activities was sledding on the hills. When we were sledding, I was by far the king, conquering all the hills. Sadly though, there was one hill I could not achieve, and fell drastically down it. In the end however, I survived and continued on dominating all the hills.” - Adam |
"Big Bar was a very fun and an everlasting memory that I think everyone should be able to experience. From pulling into the little winter paradise just outside of Clinton, to leaving a place that felt like a second home, we all owe a tremendous thank you to Big Bar Ranch.” – Warren “One of my favorite activities was horseback riding. Horseback riding was relaxing and exciting because we went on a long, nice walk through the forest. It was also funny because I had a very slow horse that was holding back a couple of other people. Even though it got annoying at times it was still a lot of fun.” - Tessa All the staff thoroughly enjoyed working (and playing!) with this great group of students, and want to congratulate them on being wonderful ambassadors for Fraser Academy. |
