Our Extreme Camp travels to Cross Country Trail Rides in Eminence, Missouri, for an immersive, all‑day horseback experience. Each camper is assigned an individual horse and participates in extended daily trail rides that explore the Angelina Mountains, follow the Jacks Fork River, and traverse remote woodlands accessible only by horseback. Prepared meals are served on the trail to support long riding days, and the program includes a river float on the Jacks Fork. Evenings feature nightly entertainment, including a Nashville performer for live music, giving campers opportunities to dance and socialize. This Eminence location‑based program is designed for riders seeking concentrated, challenging, authentic trail-riding immersion in a natural, river‑and‑forest setting
