Family Fun Day Activity Guide
Family Fun Day is a fantastic opportunity to take part in a bunch of activities that Birch Bay Ranch has to offer. You'll get to enjoy our facilities and have a fun afternoon out with your friends and family! Admission for the day is only $10/person or $20/car (cash only at the gate) and all of the money goes towards helping kids come to camp and creating a great summer program for them!
Take a look at this guide to check out all of the activities you can take part in.
At the Ropes Course:
Ziplines
Weeeeee! Ziplines are always a popular activity at Family Fun Day! When you get to the ropes course, you can choose which zipline you'd like to try and acquire the appropriately coloured wristband. Our staff will tell you what time slot you'll be riding at so that you can check out other activities while you wait for your turn. Make sure to come back to the ropes course when it's your time to zip!
For more stats on our ziplines (including our NEW Silver Bullets!), check out the Ultimate Zipline Guide on our blog!
Wall Climbing
Our highest structure on property, the Red Tower, is home to both our Super Zipline and our Super Wall. This 70ft rock wall provides a challenge for both young children and adults alike!
Back in the trees a little ways, we have our Wood Wall. Hand holds are made from pieces of wood and it is about 35ft high. Can you make it to the top to ring the bell?
Rappelling
Have you seen those movies where the people jump out of helicopters or scale down the sides of buildings? They're rappelling! Try this activity out of either our Wood Tower (35ft) or K2 (55ft)! You'll feel like a superhero!
Ascending
Do you have the coordination and strength to climb up a rope?! With ascending, our staff will teach you how it's done!
Traverse
Imagine your feet dangling over thin air 55ft above the ground! That's what it's like when you traverse - pulling yourself from one tower to another!
At the Barn:
Hayrides/Tractor Rides
Birch Bay Ranch has a pretty big property and we know you're going to want to get around from one place to another! We'll have hayrides and tractor rides that will be making their way around property. Meet our Belgian horses, Pearl & Bea, as they take you on a tour of the ranch!
Pony Rides
What's a ranch without horses? Bring your little ones (7 and under) to the arena area for a pony ride! Our staff will help them get settled in the saddle and will then take them on a little walk around so they can get a feel for what it's like to ride a horse!
Everywhere Else:
Bouncy Castles
Always a hit, you'll be able to find the bouncy castles and inflatables on our main sports field!
BBQ
With all of these activities, you'll want to grab a bite to eat! Each person that comes through the gate will receive a ticket for a hotdog or a burger. Come down to the Main Lodge to receive yours!
*please note that there are no provisions for dietary restrictions.
New Cabins
Birch Bay Ranch is currently fundraising for much needed new cabins. Talk to Sharon while you're by the main lodge about the exciting plans we have for our future cabins! Any donations would be much appreciated.
Archery
Try out your Robin Hood or Katniss skills at our archery range! The range is located just behind the Main Lodge (near the bottom of the Super Zipline).
Live Music
We're excited to have Darryl Fraess & Cross Country performing on our main sports field! Grab a seat and enjoy the live music!
Wooden Pan Store
Our tuck shop will be open on Family Fun Day if you'd like to purchase BBR Apparel or snacks and beverages! T-shirts will be available for only $5 and we also have a selection of pop, ice cream, freezies, candy bars, chips, and other candies available for sale. The Wooden Pan Store is located on the East side of the Outdoor Riding Arena.
We can't wait to see you for Family Fun Day! Please check out our Facebook Event and share with your friends and family. See you on Saturday!
