Camp Overview:
Friday, June 23, 2023 barn will be open for early move-in starting a 5 pm, Camp will officially start Saturday morning.
Saturday will include show day readiness including nutrition, daily care, showmanship and educational seminars from industry leading experts, and individualized learning opportunities with their own show calf. The day will also include fun team building and leadership activities for the families to get to know one another. At the end of Saturday a $5 jackpot showmanship will take place to allow the exhibitors time to work with their calf and use the information they learned from the day to prepare for the scholarship showmanship on Sunday. Winners from the jackpot show will walk away with awards and jackpot money.
On Sunday, we will start the day with Cowboy Church and one seminar, then go straight into the Scholarship Showmanship competition. There will be five division winners that will be awarded custom engraved show sticks and overall showmanship winners will receive scholarship money and award banners. Other awards include Most Improved Exhibitor, Most Improved Showman, Herdsman. Awards will be handed out during our Award Ceremony after the scholarship showmanship show on Sunday.
