Jesus Christ is the ultimate Hero of history. He is the main character, the Savior, the One it’s all about. And now, He has graciously invited us to join His superhero team. The Lord is looking for partners and sidekicks to assist Him in His quest to save the world, one soul at a time. He’s transforming the vilest of villains into good guys by His mercy. And He’s strengthening His followers as they stand for truth, justice, and the Heavenly way.
This summer we’ll be digging into the Book of Acts to witness how this legendary league of believers (known as the Church) began. We’ll see how God took a handful of cowards and changed them into a super squad that turned the world upside down. We’ll discover the true Source of power in these courageous champions’ lives. And we’ll learn of Christ’s desire for each of us to take a stand, engage in battle, and become one of His elite heroes.

The Brian Clifford Memorial Scholarship
Brian Clifford was a good friend who loved God deeply and always wanted to attend summer camp. When the Lord called Brian home at the age of eleven, he had never had the chance to come to camp because of his health conditions. Cowboy’s Rest is blessed to offer a scholarship in Brian’s memory so that other children who want to attend camp can experience the joy of doing so.
How do I receive a scholarship? 1. Scholarships may be used to cover up to 50% of your camper tuition. 2. Click the button to download and print a scholarship application. 3. The application must be completed by a pastor, Sunday school teacher, or other unrelated individual who is familiar with the camper. The requested written statement must be attached. 4. The application must be received at least 2 weeks prior to the start of your camp. It can be emailed to [email protected] or sent via physical mail to 435 Jiggs Hwy Unit 4 Spring Creek NV 89815 5. Members of the Cowboy's Rest Board will review the applications, award scholarships, and notify applicants of their decisions. |

We pray you will hear His voice speaking from the Bible, learn of His love through the songs we sing, and see His life mirrored in the people around you. We hope this week will change your life and draw you closer to the One who loves you most! |

What determines Camp costs?
Cowboy's Rest, a non-denominational camp, exists to provide a Christian camping experience in a rustic, outdoor setting and to assist the local Church in encouraging and equipping her congregations. We are a nonprofit organization that utilizes generous contributions to keep camp costs low, pay our staff, and keep camp running. The hope of our ministry is that His Word be proclaimed and His people be brought together.
Have questions? Contact us today, we would love to give you more information on what makes camp run.
