Special Projects at Raintree Ranch

Shade Shelter for Saddling Pen, $27,000

It's hot at Raintree during the summer months!  Lots of campers and staff spend time saddling, grooming and preparing for riding in the saddling pen.  This project would purchase a permanent, steel-pole shade-structure over the entire area.  The shelter would immediately drop the heat-index in this active work area by 20+ degrees!

New Conestoga Sleeper-Wagons (2-3), $10,000 each

In 2006, the first of these distinctive units were added near the Raintree Bunkhouse, thanks to a gift from Ruth & King Hamill.  Each one has 8 bed spaces and ties in beautifully with our western ranch theme.  The wagons are used by our older campers for more of a small-group, outdoor camping experience.

Renovation of the Bunkhouse Bathroom, $35,000

Great news!  "Under Construction"!  Thanks to the generosity of Raintree Ranch parents that voluntarily paid the extra B- or C-prices, we are moving forward with this project, Fall, 2007. 

The partitions for showers and toilets, the sinks and counter-tops in this bathroom are in need of replacement.  This project would include modern high-strength plastic partitions, solid counter-tops and new sinks.  The 700 girls that use this facility each summer (along with thousands of year-round campers) would sure appreciate this gift!

Costume and prop-storage shed near stage, $1500

The outdoor stage and campfire area down at the lower riding arena would benefit from a storage shed.

Climbing Wall-Tower, $25,000

Currently, Raintree campers hike down to Marston to utilize the climbing tower there.  A new facility, smaller but more creative, with overhangs and turns, would be a tremendously popular addition to Raintree programming.

Institutional Furniture for Upstairs Barn, $5000

This popular meeting space and gathering area would be much improved with quality couches, chairs and tables.
