LOWER LAKE – Six Sigma Ranch, Lower Lake, hosted Camp Asbill this past weekend, its first spring break nature camp for kids.
The two-day camp attracted a group of 37 enthusiastic first through sixth graders. Although the
majority of the campers were from Lake County, several were from out of town and joined the camp while visiting friends and family in the area.
Jessica Bullard was in town visiting her godparents and enrolled her son Tyler for both days of the Camp.
“Camp Asbill opened up a door to another world for Tyler,” said Bullard. “We live in Southern California suburbia; for Tyler to have the freedom to experience nature on such a grand scale made his spring break, maybe even his year. He's been telling everyone about it.”
“We were fortunate to have the assistance of many volunteers who gave generously of their time and talents,” said Rachel Ahlmann, camp director. “From showing the kids how to make a tent and cook lunch over a campfire to nature hikes and games, crafts, and horse-drawn cart rides, our volunteers helped to make Camp Asbill an incredibly rich experience for the children.”
The two-day camp benefited Wiloth Equine Therapy and Riding Center (located in Lower Lake and relocating to Middletown May 1), raising funds to underwrite 20 sessions of therapeutic riding
Camp Asbill was named after the first recorded settlers who homesteaded in 1859 on what is now Six Sigma Ranch.
Six Sigma Ranch, a 4,300-acre estate in Lower Lake, is the lifelong dream of proprietors Kaj and Else Ahlmann. When they acquired the ranch in 2000, one of their top priorities was to maintain the natural beauty of the land. Only 50 acres have been planted to vines; the bulk of the ranch is dedicated as a nature preserve hrough a conservation easement donated to the Golden State Land Conservancy.
