Summer Camp 2009 Day 5

Camp is wrapping up but the excitement is still alive! We took a hayride to the butcher to learn about the process of getting meat on your table. Your Wrangler learned how to build a shelter in the woods, work as a team on an obstacle course, barrel racing, and pole bending. We rapped up the night with a surprise nav-med which took the Wranglers into the woods to search for their "hurt" event leaders and put their First - aid skill into practice.

Summer Camp 2009 Day 4

The day was packed with fun activities.... musical mounts, three on a bale, fishing at the pond, team relay on horses, and a firemen's relay. The night was wrapped up with a surprise evening ride for the guys and swimming for the girls.

Summer Camp 2009 Day 3

Another HOT day at the Ranch wasn't enough to stop the Wranglers from having a great time learning about First - Aid, Roping, a treasure hunt on horse back, knot tying and stretcher building, cattle sorting, a game of capture the flag with water balloons, and a 100 ft slip and slide!

Summer Camp 2009 Day 2

The day began early with breakfast on the trail and a devotion on determination and running the race of life. "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain." I Corinthians 9:24 The day was filled with lots of hands on teaching. Your Wrangler learned the process of making butter, first aid for horses, and a drill team competition! Through an exciting skit your Wrangler saw how Joseph demonstrated determination to do what was right even when faced with challenging circumstances. To wrap up an exciting day the girls went on a surprise night ride!   

Summer Camp 2009 Day 1

Summer Camp 2009 is officially under way with sixteen enthusiastic Wranglers! Monday we learned about the true meaning of love. "Giving to others basic needs without having as my motive personal reward." They learned this through memory verses, an intriguing candle making craft, rifle range, a trail ride, and fun and exciting skits. The Wranglers are learning what it means to live by John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye love one to another."
