Platte Valley Rodeo Bible Camp is held in June. The Camp starts on Wednesday, and concludes on Saturday, where campers participate in a rodeo followed by an awards ceremony. Rodeo Bible Camps are a unique blend of Biblical teaching and rodeo instruction geared toward encouraging a young person to deepen their personal relationship with Jesus while improving their rodeo event skills.
Who Attends Rodeo Bible Camps?
Platte Valley Rodeo Bible Camp is for youth ages 8 to 18 as of June 1st prior to camp.
