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.
