YEAR ROUND 5-DAY INTENSIVES
I often get people who tell me they can’t fit in the dates of the camps but would sure like to come and ride for a week. Well now you can!. In groups of 2-5 people you pick dates during the year that go from Monday-Friday. You contact me and check to see if those dates are open on my calendar (my calendar may have more things booked than what you see in this newsletter). If the dates are clear, you pay for your 5 days and you are booked in to come and ride at the TRAINING FOR COURAGE CENTER with us.
