Black Hills Riders

A Special riding-centered week at Fort Courage. Live simply like the early settlers, in a log stockade, and ride out each day to explore the Black Hills ridges, creeks and mines. You will learn to care for you own horse - feeding, brushing, saddling - and learn how to ride in the back country. Back at camp, learn about draft horses, covered wagons, and horse-shoeing. Along the way we will have Bible study, worship, games, great singing, and you will learn how to cook over the open fire.
 


  Adventures in the Black Hills (Grades 7-12)

SunCatcher Servant Camp
(Grades 7-12)

Atlantic Mountain Ranch is partnering with SunCatcher Therapeutic Riding Academy to offer a unique servant camp opportunity in the Black Hills. Your youth group will work with a group of Black Hills youth who are mentally or physically challenged, and are learning to ride horses. Under the training and supervision of SunCatcher staff, you will learn to lead horses, assist riders with mounting and balance, and celebrate the freedom and joy that riding can offer you persons with varying abilities.

No horse experience is necessary - we train you. Also spend time doing your own riding, hiking, or biking, in Bible study and worship, cooking over a fire, and enjoying the relationships possible in this small group setting. Program designed for up to 20 campers plus adults.
