Cowboy vacation program set for July
Young and old alike are being rounded up for a cowboy adventure in the scenic Pine Ridge country of northwest Nebraska this summer. Chadron State College’s family learning vacation program, “Walk in Their Boots: The Cowboy Life,” will be presented July 20-23.
Participants will learn cowboy and ranch skills, including roping and team driving with wagons. Sessions will help attendees learn about horses and tack. The group also will learn to cook in a Dutch oven, take in the region’s rich history, kick up heels at a barn dance and listen to cowboy songs around the campfire.
Shellie Johns, CSC coordinator of conferencing, said the program is designed to be enjoyed by two or more family members of diverse generations or age categories, but that single adults or couples will also take pleasure in the experience.
Participants will sleep on comfortable beds in an air-conditioned CSC “bunkhouse.” Nearby is CSC’s Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center and its space dedicated to the history of the cattle industry, the C.F. Coffee Gallery.
Payment is due by June 15. For cost and registration information, contact the CSC Conferencing Office at (308) 432-6380.
