Each child is given chances at leadership roles and is allowed room to explore their new-found strengths. The schedule will not be as strict and unwavering as it was at Roundy Camp, allowing for changes and alterations that can be found in normal life. Level III incorporates the youth into typical every-day ranch activities, but with the structure and guidance of the staff counselors. During Level III, each student will be required to go through a horsemanship course and pass a variety of tests before being allowed to ride their horse. There are cattle drives, fences to fix, hay harvest, branding, and realted actitivies.
Life makes demands, and it also provides rewards.
Animals often begin to play an important role in the counseling of the students during this phase. Each student is assigned a horse to care for with the teenager's own personality taken into consideration. There are also cows, calves, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, rabbits, and yes, cats and dogs. Some are old, some are young. Some are healthy, some need extra care, patience, and love.
