The Haven Acres registration process is changing this year! This is how it will work… Parents will no longer need to call in to reserve a spot for their child (ren) on a specified date and time. In order to give everyone equal opportunity, please register your child (ren) on the registration page. To qualify, registrants must be ages 9-17 by June 3, 2019. Applications must be received by 11:59pm on April 1, 2019. The following day, we will randomly draw names (keeping families together) to determine which kids will be awarded the 40 available spots in the mentorship program. We will accept an additional 8 participants into the Deaf program. Calling in or registering earlier will not increase your odds of your child being in the program—as long as the applications are received by April 1st then your child will have the same opportunity as everyone else.
That means that registration is now open! Just make sure that you send in an application for your child before April 1st.
Thank you all SO MUCH!!! We raised a total of $3,995 yesterday for Giving Tuesday! That covers about a month of our costs! Wow! Thank you all so much for supporting us in this way. It’s a huge blessing from God.
Haven Acres is excited to announce the Midwest Bounty Round-Up! It will be a weekend conference to encourage, empower, and equip you for faith-based equine ministry. We are co-hosting this event in March with three other Similar Ministries in Minnesota. We are thrilled to be joined by Troy Meeder as Keynote Speaker. Troy is the Co-Founder of Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch, the ranch where God started it all! Anyone is invited to this event, but early bird registration is due December 31st. Spots are limited for overnight guests, so make sure you register soon. We hope you join us!
Thank you so much to everyone who came to the Round Up! And thank you to everyone who served and donated! This was our best year ever. For the first time ever, we had no overhead cost at all this year because of so many people donating and helping in various ways! We raised just over $4,000 and had about 300 people in attendance.
All of the participants who had come during the summer were able to ride their horse in one of our events to show off their skills to their family and friends. Our events this year were an obstacle course, red light green light, a pumpkin ring toss, and egg ‘n spoon. Everything went well and the kids had a lot of fun at their last hurrah of the season!
This year we were able to add carnival games which created more fun for the whole family. We also had a mini horse “garage sale” with used horse figurines, toys, and books for the families to purchase, which was really fun to have! Along with those new additions we had the regular silent auction (thanks to SO many donors), food (also generously made and donated), and more.
Thank you SO much to everyone who made this possible! Summer volunteers, volunteers for the event, and those of you who went out and got items for the Round Up. We are so appreciative and never could have done it without you!
