The purpose of this Rodeo Bible Camp is to provide a quality rodeo school within a Christian environment to fulfill the mission of turning cowboys and cowgirls who need Christ into those who know Christ and those who know Him into fully devoted followers of Him.

Refining skills in the sport of rodeo can be grueling and often expensive.  Young rodeo hopefuls often travel miles on end and spend significant amounts of money on rodeo entry fees trying to gain the experience needed to go to the next level of competition.  Analytical instruction on the finer points of technique in an event is often unavailable, inconsistent or too expensive for contestants.  At $150, less than half the price of a commercial rodeo school, LaVeta's RBC provides an alternative for those who want to learn rodeo, from the serious High School or Little Britches competitor to those who just need to find out if rodeo is for them. Located in Southern Colorado, our students are typically from a five state area, and many of them make LaVeta RBC a yearly event.

Top notch PRCA and amateur rodeo competitors provide one-on-one instruction, identify the students strengths and weaknesses, and devise strategies to help them improve performance in their event.  The entire staff is put together by people who know and understand rodeo and are held accountable to uphold standards set by the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys.  Safety is at the top of the priority list and rough stock is selected with the skill level of the rider in mind.  There is always plenty of stock to rope and ride and time to work on particular skills.  Practice runs are video taped to allow instructor and student to get the most from every run or ride.


We would love to hear from you.  Drop us a line or send us and e-mail.  Let us hear your praise reports and prayer requests.  Share your victories and your challenges as if we were sitting on the picnic table or a tailgate at the camp.
