“The Horses Are Our Heroes”
At Campfire Creek, every session centers on the horse. Strong yet sensitive, these horses sense emotion, build trust, and meet riders where they are. Their calm presence helps riders open up, gain confidence, and heal uniquely. Each horse is carefully chosen and trained—steady, patient, and gentle to carry riders and their stories. We believe God works through them to bring joy, courage, and connection that can only be experienced here.
Faith & Heart
Campfire Creek began with a calling to serve with Christ-like compassion. While faith is our foundation, our programs are open to everyone. Every family is welcome.
