Monday, our Summer Camp participants had a special opportunity to meet some beautiful horses from 2 Bit Ranch!

2 Bit Ranch was in town accepting a donation, and the timing worked out perfectly for our campers to enjoy a meet-and-greet with these amazing animals. The kids loved learning about the horses, getting up close to them, and experiencing something unique during their camp day.

A sincere thank you to 2 Bit Ranch for taking the time to share their prized horses with our campers. We greatly appreciate your generosity and helping create a memorable experience for our youth!
