Ranch Camp

  6 Days
  Kidder Creek
  2nd–12th Grade
Summer 2024
Enjoy daily horseback trail rides, be challenged by the basics of vaulting (that’s gymnastics on horseback!), learn all about horses during horse science class, and play skill-improving games in the arena. Each morning discover a new truth about God by looking at horses in a whole new way and every afternoon learn about God's love during cabin devotions. In the evening, everyone comes together to praise God with fun songs, skits, and a short message.
