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.
