In the enchanting realm of the Tar Heel state, also known as North Carolina, a plucky band of kids embark on a thrilling adventure, not on bikes or rollerblades, but on horseback! They are the daring equestrians of NC, and they are as varied and vibrant as the state’s stunning landscape. Leading the charge is the gang's fearless leader, a sharp-witted squirrel named Nutty McNut. Born in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, Nutty wears a cowboy hat, a rodeo champion belt, and a pair of tiny boots on his hind paws. He is the ultimate guide to horseback riding, knowledgeable about every nook and cranny of the state. These cool kids, under Nutty’s tutelage, explore the rolling hills of Piedmont, the sandy shorelines of the Outer Banks, and the bustling cities from Charlotte to Raleigh – all on horseback. They're not your ordinary kids; they're horsey kids, sporting riding helmets instead of baseball caps and jodhpurs instead of jeans - and they wouldn't have it any other way. The horses they ride are as unique and funny as their riders. There's Giggles, a spirited paint horse with a laugh that sounds suspiciously like a neigh, and Buttercup, a sweet-natured pony who loves nothing more than a good gallop followed by a feast of fresh, green grass. Together with Nutty and the kids, they form the coolest, quirkiest gang of horseback riders you'll ever meet. The kids of North Carolina who participate in horseback riding are as fearless as they come. They're brave explorers and horse whisperers, ready to saddle up and gallop into a new adventure every single day. So, put on your helmet, grab your reins, and join the fun with Nutty and his troupe. Adventure awaits in every corner of the awe-inspiring state of North Carolina!

At Camp Cedar Cliff, we believe in the infallible Word of God and the authority of the Bible. We trust that God exists eternally in three persons— Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, and sacrificed himself to take away our sins. We understand that all people everywhere have lost their way and need to accept Jesus Christ as their savior. We also believe that Jesus rose from the dead and will soon return. Finally, Camp Cedar Cliff believes that Christian camping provides young people with the opportunity to learn about Jesus Christ, build a relationship with him, and become a disciple of him. This is essential for young people to grow in faith and bear fruit in the Kingdom of God. At Camp Cedar Cliff, we strive to provide a safe and welcoming environment for young people to learn about Jesus Christ and develop a relationship with him. We believe that Christian camping is an important part of the gospel of Jesus Christ and a vital part of young people’s spiritual development. We want to help young people understand the importance of Jesus Christ and accept him as their savior, so they can grow into disciples of him.
