Your camper will have minimal personal space in bunk houses and will be "living out of the suitcase" during their stay. Pack accordingly.

Rawhide Ranch is a page out of the Old West where "roughing it" is part of the fun. For all to enjoy the experience, we ask that the following items be left behind:

	Radios, CD players, Boom Boxes, etc.
	TVs, Video games, GameBoys, etc.
	Cell phones, pagers (Campers are not allowed to have cell phones with them at camp. While you are with your campers or there are any campers on the Ranch you will not be able to carry, use, or have your cell phone so please do not plan to use it for an alarm clock. We can store your phone for you in a safe location.)
	Pocket knives, sling-shots, etc.

Rawhide Ranch is not responsible for lost or damaged personal items. Leave those "favorite" or expensive items at home.

Campers love getting letters and cards from home. We ask that you do not send packages containing candy or food to/with your camper. There is no food storage area available and we no longer allow food to be stored or eaten in the cabins. (The ants might love the midnight snacks available in a camper's bags but the other bunkmates are not too happy to have the extra guests in the cabin. ) Instead, consider sending a small gift or additional "pony bucks" instead - Coffee breaks are a big event in the camper's day and they love choosing something cold from one of the snack areas.	Experts' Hints: "There's no refrigerators in the bunk houses so I don't send things that might melt" MORE EXPERT TIPS
Send clean clothes for extended stay campers to mail their soiled things home in the same box the fresh things come in. Include return shipping label and postage in box. Approx. $10~$12/load	Experts' Hints: "We use the camp laundry service instead of packing weeks of clothes" MORE EXPERT TIPS
