The mission of Camp Horsin' Around is to provide a camp facility specifically designed and equiped to enrich the lives of children with serious, chronic illnesses and physical difficulties with these specific goals:
| |
- to provide a camp to nurture the souls of children whose bodies have let them down
- to offer the opportunity to spend time with other children who share their experience
- to be in a place where people don't look at them differently
- to have a camping experience that gives them the chance to 'normalize' their lives
- to live, laugh, and love with others who truly understand |
The camp will also offer a family camping center, as well as support services for families, with special programs for siblings of ill children. |
Indeed Eddie Montgomery and his wife Tracy have been extremely helpful in raising funds for the camp. They graciously agreed to chair the fundraising campaign, and supported two recent fundraisers - the Annual Camp Out and "Eddie Rides for the Kids". They have also recruited their friends and family to be a part of the camp family.
"We want to be part of building this wonderful camp for children right here in Kentucky." - Eddie Montgomery
As neighbors of the camp, the Montgomerys have helped with oversight, mowing, and have purchased, boarded, and cared for a horse named "FLASH". "FLASH" can’t wait for the children to get to camp!! Click link for more info on how to get involved.
