Thanks to our Timberland Friends….

 

During the week of June 13-17 the Timberland Company of

Danville allowed a group of their employees to come to Camp

Horsin' Around and work for the camp for the week. The policy

of the company asks each employee to spend 40 hours a year

with a non-profit organization as a community involvement

donation from the Timberland Company. The employees are paid

their usual salaries while they help the organizations selected.

This was a very generous gift the company made to us as we were

able to get much of the spring cleanup inside and out done for the

summer camp sessions. The hours donated for the week total nearly

200. We are most grateful to them and to the employees who

came to the camp. Thank you!

Camp Horsin' Around is grateful to our many donors that have helped us

achieve our progress to date.  We still have to construct the dining hall/multipurpose building and 2 more cabins to finish the first phase. 

We are working diligently towards that end. If you can help with a donation 

we would be most appreciative.

  The good news is that the pond dug last fall is

full and ready for camp activities.

Wildlife & Game stocked the pond in the fall of 2011.

From time to time we need help in manual labor around the camp site. 

We have an abundance of large rocks which need to be cleared from

certain areas and some landscaping help.  If this interests you or a

group to which you belong please let us know.

Their fragile health is no barrier to a good time.

They enjoy the moment and hope for the future. 

Of all the gifts bestowed this year the journey with

our kids as they experienced a camping adventure 

was both heartwarming and rewarding! Your generosity

and compassion have allowed children from Kentucky to

have an exciting and fun-filled camping experience.

Accomplishments Around the Camp 

 The Camp had a joyous experience this past summer.  We were able to have our first overnight campers.  These campers were teenagers dealing with cancer.  They were a great group of young people who look at life with the glass half full and live each day fully.   They want all of the good times "normal kids" have and all of the experiences they can manage.  We heard comments such as "this place is awesome" and "I can see the world around me".  This is a testament to the value of Camp Horsin' Around.

The Dream is not Complete

The camp is well underway but not complete.  We need to construct a dining hall/multipurpose building, a swimming pool, two more cabins, an office, caretaker's home, the lake and endow the camp.  While this is an ambitious list we are confident we can get it done!  Our camp family is large and happily it grows on a daily basis.  With so many folks caring and sharing with us that old expression "many hands make light work" is certainly true.  As we continue our journey to make this camp all it can be for so many special kids we hope that you will join our family and finish the dream with us.  Our goals are lofty but the rewards of helping these kids have the time of their lives with others who truly understand is the true meaning of sharing to help others. It has been said, by a physician who cares for the children while they are at camp, "children come to camp to recharge their energy and their spirits for their continuing struggle with their illnesses and their future health".  How special it is to be an enabler for these children. 

Please join our family and help us finish the dream!
