No Kai Oi Ranch Weekend
Date: July 25-27, 2008
Ups and Downs has 10 teepees
booked at Our Lady Queen of
Peace Ranch (formerly known
as No Ka Oi Ranch). Hooray for 10 lucky Ups and Downs families will be able to
enjoy a wonderful weekend in the outdoors near Bragg Creek.
Accommodation and Facilities: The Ranch provides large teepees for accommodation
(they can actually fit 2 or more families if you want to stay with friends), sleeping
bags with clean insert sheets, all meals and snacks, plus….canoeing, swimming,
boating (life jackets are all provided) and horse-back riding (helmets provided but
please note that children 6 and under can only sit on the horses for a photo but are not
allowed to actualy ride the horses). The scenery is lovely, the flyfishing is superb, and
there is even a big open fire pit for roasting marshmallows each night. The Ranch’s
Trading Post Store is undoubtedly the most reasonably priced second hand clothing store
that you will ever experiece so be sure to pay it a visit during your stay.
What to bring? You will need sunhats and sunscreen, camera, cool clothes for the day,
warm clothes for the night, bathing suits, and your personal bathroom necessities. There
are flush toilets, sinks and showers all within easy reach of the teepees. Leave your beer at
home because there is a “no alcohol allowed” policy but that will just leave more room for
your fishing gear.
Food? If your children have food allergies or are picky eaters then remember to bring exactly
what your children do eat because the anch does not offer a lot of different choices. They serve
what they serve for meals and if your child does not like it, then they will go hungry. You
cannot keep any food in your teepee and your car will not be parked anywhere near your
lodgings so all food will be kept a the main lodge. There is a fridge in the main kitchen but you
will only have access to it during main meal times.
Cost? Free to any of our Ups and Downs members who register.
This year the Ranch has asked us to submit before
April 31st all the vital details about the families who are registered to attend.
To book, call or e-mail Michelle McIntyre at 283-1949 or
