We are excited to be hosting the overnight Boys Ranch Academy this summer. These young men will be learning the ins and outs of ranching, from feeding and fencing and other daily chores, to riding out to check and doctor stock. They’ll also spend time in the saddle strengthening their horsemanship and stockmanship skills. Time will be time spent fishing and sitting around the campfire exchanging cowboy stories. Be ready to pitch a tent, and come hungry for cowboy grub on this 4 day, 3 night stay on rolling green pastures in Elm City, NC. Boys may bring their own mounts or use one from our cavvy! Opportunities for Bible Study during the week as well. No horse experience necessary but you MUST come willing to learn!

What to bring:

A tent/sleeping bag/pillow/flashlight/ toiletries /appropriate sleepwear for current weather

Cowboy Attire for Picture Day!!!

Jeans and work pants

Helmet

Long sleeve shirts to work in

A cowboy hat or ball cap that stays on your head in windy conditions
