Description: This is the life of a trainer, early mornings, late nights, sore bodies and big smiles. Not for the faint of heart! If you want to just ride horses here and there then sign up for Horsemanship Camp not HIM. During the HIM program, you will learn to work with horses at every stage of their development. Learn the training technique of round penning, equine health care, dealing with behavior issues and arena work. Be stretched in your ability to work with horses and to train them from the ground up, relaying on the safe teaching of certified instructors and allowing God to give you the courage and strength to see it through.

On top of all this you can discover more about your relationship with Christ and interacting with kids at camp and staff who will lead you in challenging devotions. Your thinking "Wow that's a lot of work" well don't worry there will be plenty of laughs, horsing around and memories to last a life time.
