 Horses
are an important part of the camp programs. Over 25 horses of many sizes and species make up the camp herd.  Each summer numerous colts are born to the delight and education of the campers.
  Campers alternate between riding a  horse and riding in a modern covered wagon pulled by a giant draft horse.
Below: Some of the Horse Program Areas

The first-class horse wagon, perhaps the most advanced in the midwest, is the result of the generosity of First Premier Bank.
