Horseback riding at the Plumfield Farm has been an intricate part of Living Waters Bible Camp for many years. Ron and Carol Ann Felten have been generous supporters of camp, inviting thousands of campers to experience God’s Creation at their farm. Traditionally, campers have enjoyed daily morning trail rides and breakfast on the trail. This program is a lot of work and often overlaps the nature programs back at camp, so we plan to make some changes this summer.
This year we intend to offer two options for horseback riding. Both will be on Tuesday afternoons from 1:30 to 4:30 pm during Boys, Girls, and Senior High Camps. One will be at Plumfield Farm (Felten’s) and the other will be at Red Rock Trails near Sparta. (The Kid’s Camp programs will continue as they have in the past.) The two options are described below.
