We spent last week in Beautiful Meeteetse, Wyoming for the Cowboys With a Mission Rodeo Bible Camp.
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!
Aiden decided to work on roping. With his brand new horse Bullet (seriously we bought him about a week before camp).
Addie did barrels and goat tying and a little bit of poles, (but her horse Jet frustrated her when she ran poles.)
While they worked on events on that end of the arena the Western Original and I were behind the bucking chutes helping with the rough stock events. We brought our bulls, and a wide array of horses. Dick has supplied the rough stock for this camp since it first started 16 years ago!
Tyson Donovan taught the bull riding.
While Sylvan La Cross taught bull fighting, and saddle bronc riding.
I put my new GoPro on some of the kids and got some really fun shots!
Now you can see what a steer rider sees!
The kids had a blast and learned a ton!
Plus at the end of camp they both made the decision to be baptised.
I hear the water was very cold!
Addie said she started holding her breath too early and was gasping for air by the time her dunk was over.
I do think it is very fitting that my kids where baptised in a stock tank at rodeo camp!
In the end, Aiden won a buckle for heeling, Addie won a buckle for goat tying, and they both learned so much! They said the only thing they would change about camp is to make it longer! (Or have several of them through the summer.)
Thank you so much to everyone who helped with this camp!
And if any of you have kids that want to rodeo - this is the place to teach them! I would recommend it to any kid no matter their skill level! Click here to learn more.
Next Rodeo is Lovell! See you there!
I have 1 mini aussie pup left at this point. Check him out!
Thank you so much for joining me here at the barnyard! See you next time!
