Horse Camp

Horse Camp is a 6 - day program (girls entering grades 4 - 12) that is run entirely by our staff and is filled with horsemanship experiences like horse science lessons, mounted archery, and trail time. They also participate in fun games, daily Bible studies, worship services, campfires, ziplining, archery, riflery, pool time, and much more!

Campers will spend time with their counselors/wranglers who are highly trained and love the Lord. Our greatest desire for your girls is that they grow in their relationships with God. They will be challenged to focus on Jesus and work to please Him alone. They will learn to work together and to serve one another in love.
