Summit Mountain Mentors 7.14.17

"I think the kids loved being able to lead the horses once they felt confident. They learned how important loving communication is. They also learned how their body communicates as well. They learned they each have the power to be a positive leader. I learned to trust the kids more. They are so strong physically and mentally. It was amazing to watch the kid face their fears and overcome them. I realized that animals can read you! The energy that you send out, you receive back. This was amazing! The staff and volunteers were so patient and supportive. I loved watching all the interaction that took place with the animals as well as with humans. Thank you so much for inviting Mt. Mentors to participate in this camp. Our kids were nervous on the way out but your staff made them very comfortable. Getting the kids to feel comfortable and confident in themselves and their skills was beautiful to watch. We had an absolutely wonderful time!"
