The IX Winds Ranch Foundation 'Camp Gid D Up' is a free, western style, summer camp for inner-city and at-risk youth throughout Los Angeles County. The foundation was founded by veteran actor Glynn Turman and his wife Jo-An in 1992 after the civil unrest in Los Angeles. Since 1992 over 800 youth & adults have been able to enjoy a week of outdoor/western activities such as horseback riding, steer roping, hiking, riding mighty bucky, singing at campfires, dances, swimming, tossing horse-shoes, arts & crafts, field games, archery, star gazing, sleeping under the stars, and breathing fresh air on a 40 acre working ranch located just 75 miles North of Los Angeles in Lake Hughes, California.
