OUR VISION
Our vision is to provide amazing experiences for youth in a loving, supportive, fun, and inspiring environment. We want to “welcome little children” (Mark 9:37), and to help them see and experience God’s love-in-action. We seek to provide an inclusive and welcoming place “where you belong”, and to have a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of our campers and guests. In short, our vision is to love people (kids, and all our neighbors).
OUR CORE VALUES
Love
A love for kids, God, each other, horses, and nature and the desire to help inspire young people shines through in all our staff members. “Loving others as ourselves”, as Jesus taught, is our most important value and guides everything we do.
Hospitality
We treat youth and all our guests with dignity, value and respect and will show them amazing ranch hospitality. We strive to make all kids and guests feel welcome and create a place, “where you belong”.
Excellence
Best staff, best programs, best facility. We aim high to serve you with excellence in all we do: from the leadership qualities, kindness and care of our staff, the quality of our programs, the quality, cleanliness and safety of our facility, the “fun-factor” and breadth of our activities, the quality of our food, our attention to detail, and so on. We don’t cut corners. “Always be outstanding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain.”(1 Cor 15:58).
Fun
Camp is all about fun, and we want our guests to experience fun, laughter, and the joy of life so we dial up the fun factor to 10, in everything we do.
THE TEAM
Rosy Berti

Olivia Noack
Horsemanship Coordinator
Olivia brings with her years of experience working as the Horsemanship Coordinator at Circle Square Ranch Grand River in Ontario. She grew up in Hamilton, Ontario and joined the Snider Mountain team in November 2023. She has been preparing our horses, old and new, for upcoming weekend camps and a busy summer ahead! If Olivia’s not in the barn, or riding in the arena you might find her doing some baking in the kitchen, or looking after her cat Meatball, who is enjoying life in the barn.
Nicolette Ellens
Program Coordinator
Nicolette began work at the ranch in the summer of 2023 as Program Coordinator. She grew up in Ottawa, Ontario and most recently worked as an instructor-therapist at an autism therapy centre. Nicolette took a job at the Ranch for a summer adventure, quickly fell in love with camp life, and accepted a position on our year-round team! She loves sharing in the campers’ joy, and one of her favourite perks of camp life is finding leftover cookies. She is gifted in hospitality, and makes each guest and staff member feel warmly welcomed.
Our Team is Important to Us!
