September 2009 Rideathon We would like to thank everyone who participated in and donated to our Fall Rideathon. It was a beautiful day to ride through the hills. We had 63 riders, which is a record attendance. In total, we received $7193.00. The funds raised will be used to purchase new horses and tack for the riding program.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!

September and October have been busy months for us here at CSR. We have had several different groups staying here doing all the activities and there are only 10 of us here to do the work that 50 or 60 staff do during the summer. Thank you to the young men and women who have made the commitment to stay and help us host our Fall retreat groups.
WELCOME BACK We are pleased to welcome Judy Jamieson as our full time Food Services Director. Judy has been with us for several summers previously and has now joined us as Permanent staff.
We would also like to welcome Roberta Christianson back as our Horsemanship Director. Roberta has been part of our permanent staff before as both the horsemanship director and the secretary/registrar.
