• Frontier Ranch field gets EXTREME makeover!
• Reduce - Reuse - Recycle
• "Going Green" - Chicago has nothing on us!
• Ready and Waiting!

When campers and parents arrive to Frontier Ranch this summer, they will be in for an extreme surprise!  This spring, the field with all of its holes and dead weeds was replaced with new dirt, gopher wire, and beautiful healthy green sod to give Frontier Ranch a brand new playing field!

Mission Springs is doing its part to help Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

As Mission Springs prepares to build a new entrance bridge at a new location, eleven large redwood trees needed to be removed to make way for the bridge.  Rather than discard the trees, Mission Springs had the wood milled into 6,000 board feet of beautiful redwood lumber that will be used for various projects around Mission Springs.  One such application was the new hitching posts placed around the new playing field at Frontier Ranch where kids and counselors can hangout.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the staff at Mission Springs! Chicago has nothing on us.

The real reason the pool is green at Mission Springs is due to some recent work to the infrastructure of the pool. For the last two weeks the old tired pumps and filters were turned off so that they could be replaced with new ones! Once the new pumps are turned on, the water will turn crystal-clear blue for the enjoyment of all our guests at Mission Springs, even during the heavy summer usage!

Here is a view of the installation of the new filters.

READY & WAITING!

The site for the new Mission Springs bridge has been ready since November 2007 and with permits now in hand and clearance from all regulatory agencies, construction is set to begin the week of May 29, 2008.  Our hopes of an early summer completion for our summer guests were dashed when we were faced with still further delays.  Estimated completion date is set for August/September 2008.

Check back in the coming weeks for project status and construction photos.

Check it out! The following specialty programs are being offered this fall. You can read more about each of these great programs on the Mission Springs website– click here for the Programs and Events Calendar!
