Retreats that combine equine activities, therapeutic sessions, and socialization opportunities provide a comprehensive experience for individuals with disabilities. The integration of therapeutic interventions, recreational experiences, and skill-building activities supports the diverse needs of adults in their daily lives. During these retreats, participants will care for their equine partner and address challenges on a trail, which can translate to everyday life. This partnership with horses, skill-building activities, and a confidence-building environment aims to enhance participants' quality of life.
This 3-night to one week experience from May to October, selecting 78 (16-21) for participation. Interested individuals can sign up, with self-pay options available at $750 per retreat if or weeklong, they do not qualify for payment programs.
The program involves gaining or refreshing basic riding and horsemanship skills for trail rides. Daily activities from 9 am to 3:30 pm include preparing for rides, caring for horses, and exploring therapeutic relationships with horses both on the ground and on horseback. CCTR offers organized trails with well-managed groups.
Activities include team building, navigating obstacles, waterways, wildlife exploration, evidence-based equine-assisted education, and horsemanship. Participants will immerse themselves in nature for therapeutic growth individually and collectively. They will collaborate as a team in horse care, ride preparation, and camp setup. Campfire sessions are intentionally therapeutic, and mindfulness skills are practiced both on the ground and horseback. This will allow our children who have experience being in foster care, kinship, guardian ships and trouble teens that just need healing.
CCTR provides breakfast and dinner buffets at the mess hall, lunch cooked on the trail, nightly cookouts, morning breakfasts, and mid-day snacks. Nightly live bands and dancing, fun shops, and equine stores are only available at CCTR. Warm/hot weather activities include floating trips and river swimming exclusively at CCTR.

Participants will benefit from shared purpose camaraderie, aiding in reconnection with themselves, their families, and their communities.
