Spring and Summer 2010 is setting up to be our busiest seasons ever at Living Waters Ranch!
Last year LWR hosted two Special Touch Day Camps for special needs campers
from 6 years old through adults, this year we do it again with camps in
April and September. This year we will we will host a Foster Family
Day Camp and a Autistic Family Day Camp in May and June respectively. Activities during the day camps
included fishing, flag train, giant slide, crafts, picnic, and more. All of these day camps are part of LWR’s outreach programs
designed to bless the families of special needs children of all ages.
April/September Special Touch Day Camps are open to any age special needs

School Groups at LWR
Visiting
the ranch last spring and summer were school groups from
Humansville, Fair Play, Wheatland, Warsaw (pictured above), Leeton, and Osceola.
Students participated in archery, fishing, giant slide, BB guns,
hawk throwing, and the Challenge Course.
Feedback from the teachers and students was very positive and
they were especially pleased to find a field trip that could
accommodate up to 100 students grades K-12 on the same day.
LWR is developing several new activities that will continue
to meet the needs of area schools and churches.

Riding Center
Providing Opportunities for Identified ‘At-Risk’ Youth |
|
Jeremiah Camp is intended to provide a church
camp experience for children and teens that might not otherwise experience
one. Boy's & girls 2nd grade through 8th grade dates will be posted soon. |
Who doesn’t love horses? Most kids and adults even if they
don’t ride, still love these beautiful creatures!
Horses are perfect for teaching respect, patience,
responsibility, and developing a sense of self-confidence.
volunteer training started in in March of 08 and continued
through May. |
Two overnight Jeremiah Camps were held in July 2009.
Girls and boys’ camps were held at separate times and both focused on living
a pure life by the standards set in God’s Word. A total of 25 campers from 3-8 grade attended camp. |
The riding center is focusing on
providing opportunities for identified ‘at-risk’ youth to
develop job and life skills through a natural horsemanship
environment. |

Bridge of Hope
Therapeutic Horseback Riding Center
|
Tearing Down the Strongholds
Challenge Course for Kindergarten - Sr.
Citizens |
|
“Put the yellow ring on the blue pole,
next put both arms out and find your balance, now use your reins
to make Silverado go to the left of the orange cones” are
examples of verbal instructions riders are asked to follow as
they participate in the Bridge of Hope Riding Center.
"Learning to approach & groom a
horse"
|
| The
riding center has recently begun its pilot program with two
young boys from Osceola.
Each child rides for an hour then helps to unsaddle
Silverado and groom him.
During the riding session, riders are asked to follow
directions, stretch their bodies and minds, and in turn
learn how to rein the horse, signal the horse when to go and
stop, and learn to respect the volunteers and horse
involved. |

What would you say are the most important
skills children learn today?
Reading? Math? Science? While these
are essential, there are other abilities just as important.
Abilities like problem solving, cooperation with others,
communication, perseverance, and leadership ensure success in the real
world, also. |
 |
Our challenge course is appropriate for ages
Kindergarten through senior citizens, as most challenges can be
adapted to the age and abilities of the participants.
So, not only will children and youth develop these important
life skills, but our challenge course is a great way to get young
people outside, away from TV and video games and explore/enjoy
outdoor activities. Our motto is ‘No Child Left Inside’!
