HEALTH AND MEDICAL SUPPORT A volunteer staff of Registered Nurses and medical personnel are on Ranch property around the clock to provide emergency medical care, first aid, medication administration, and to ensure the general health and well-being for all ranchers. Please review the Rancher Health Handbook found on pages 10-16 of this Parent Handbook. There are important documents requiring signatures from both the parent and the Rancher s physician before the Rancher can receive medication at Solid Rock Ranch. FOOD ALLERGIES If your child has a specific food allergy, you will be able to indicate the allergy when you register. We will then notify the Ranch kitchen staff and your child s team leader to ensure your child receives the appropriate meal plan during Ranch. HOMESICKNESS While kids typically find Ranch to be a very fun and exciting experience, at times they may begin to miss their family. Please don t encourage kids to call you if they are unhappy. Instead, encourage them to go to Ranch, make friends and enjoy their experience. If they miss home, encourage them to talk and pray with their team leader. Remind your kids you want them to be there and have a good time. Discuss and help your child write a set of personal goals for their Ranch experience. Send a disposable camera to record your child s Ranch memories to share when they return home (please write their name on it). Have your child keep a journal of all the fun they are having and everything God is speaking to them about. We recognize that it is natural for a child to miss home. When a child feels homesick, we work with them individually, listening and talking about his/her feelings. If necessary, we notify parents and work with them to implement the best plan. In some instances parents may be asked to pick up a child. It is rare that a child leaves due to homesickness. MAINTAINING ORDER Typically we do not have a problem with our Ranchers. For the most part the children are very well-behaved during Ranch. However on the occasion that a child misbehaves, the Ranch staff will follow this policy: Ranchers possessing weapons, alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs will be dismissed from Ranch immediately without a refund. Ranchers who are exceedingly disruptive, destructive or a danger to themselves or others will be dismissed without a refund. Ranchers who have trouble following rules and/or listening to directions may be required to sit out of certain activities as correction for their behavior. If the Rancher does not change their behavior after a maximum of three warnings, the parent or legal guardian of the Rancher will be called and the child will be sent home from Ranch. 6

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. How can I be a part of my child s Ranch experience? A. There are a couple ways that you, as a parent, can be a part of your child s Ranch experience. You can apply to be a counselor for Overnight Ranch or a team leader for Day Ranch. You can also volunteer to help with operations, such as helping in the kitchen, doing security or helping as a ranch hand or with activities. Also, write your kid(s) a letter to read while they are away. Don t forget to pray for your child s experience and the friend they will meet! Q. Who will be caring for my child while at Ranch? A. During Ranch, your child will be under the guidance of a minimum of two screened and trained volunteers who will be with the ranchers at all times, 24 hours per day.

Trained security teams are on duty at all times, and all volunteers have been CPR /first aid trained. Q. Do you supply pain reliever or other over-the-counter medication if needed? A. Yes.
