Rodeo Bible Camp 2016
Becoming Champions’ Rodeo Bible Camp (RBC) is for participants ages 8-18 to learn and excel in their chosen rodeo events. It is also a time to introduce them to Christ and encourage them in a growing relationship with the Lord. RBC is blessed to have outstanding instructors, many of whom are Christian PRCA World Champions. They join us to teach rodeo skills and motivate participants towards integrity and excellence outside of the rodeo arena. Volunteer counselors spend time with each participant during the camp, answering questions and having fun. RBC is a blast for everyone!
Another year, and another Rodeo bible Camp, ladies and gentlemen.
Aiden is getting the hang of this roping thing. He swung a rope at a live steer on top of his very own horse this year! That’s more than I have ever attempted! Way to go Aiden!
Addie and her pretty paint mare really had a blast too! Oh So loves to go! And she loves turning barrels and weaving poles! That makes for an enjoyable week!
Dick and I spent most of our time at the rough stock arena, behind the chutes. This is Wyatt making a pretty good ride.
And this is Wyatt...
Making a pretty dramatic dismount.
But there is always lots of help for the cowboys.
Bull fighters learning their craft and helping the kids out.
All with great attitudes and tons of smiles.
Instructors Tyson Donovan, for the steer/bull riders. And Sylvan LaCross for the bareback riders and bull fighters.
And new to RBC this year is Saddle bronc instructor Tyrell Smith with our saddle bronc riders. Two really great kids!
I mean look at this picture of Shawn. This is just a good kid!
Behind the chutes is where most of the action takes place. Doesn’t this look like a scene from John Wayne’s “The Cowboys?"
A prayer before the rodeo...
~
And a little last minute instruction from dad.
There are lots of important talks that take place.
Really important talks!
But toward the end of the week...
Everyone starts to get a little tuckered out.
Really tuckered out!
But in the end the boys try to come out and make a good ride.
And even when the ride doesn’t go as planned.
They pick up their bull ropes.
And give a high five on the way out!
Thanks to everyone at at Rodeo Bible Camp for another great year!
