"At a quiet ranch in Camas, something extraordinary is happening. Young people are finding connection through horses, sports, shared meals and the steady presence of caring mentors. Rising Above Daily is a free program that helps kids aged 6-18 by providing a place of refuge, support and love. With thriving equine and basketball programs and an upcoming music program, this is a space to find connection, community and mentorship." -Excerpt taken from Vancouver Family Magazine September 2025 Issue titled, "Rising Above Daily: Where Kids Find Hope, Healing and Horses."
This is just a part of our story as shared by Catherine Stacks at Vancouver Family Magazine. We envision expanding our impact and increasing the number of youths we serve by building an Indoor Equine Arena, where we can run programs year-round, ensuring that weather never disrupts the healing and growth that happen here.
We have already made progress on this project—building a road, clearing the land, and constructing the cover—but we need financial support from donors like you to help us complete the arena. At Rising Above Daily Youth Ranch, our mission is built on three key pillars: Connection, Community, and Mentorship. In a world that often isolates and distracts, we provide a space where youth feel seen, supported, and empowered—through relationships with mentors, horses, and ultimately, Christ.
We’re seeking partners who believe in the power of strategic generosity—those who understand that buildings are not the goal, but the means to create lasting change in the lives of the youth and families we serve. With your support, we can:
- Expand access to equine mentorship for vulnerable youth in all seasons
- Foster a stronger sense of belonging and purpose through consistent mentorship programming
- Amplify our mission by telling our story with clarity, conviction, and compassion
The total cost of the arena project is over $400,000.00. We raised $94,000.00 at the end of 2025. The goal of this fundraiser is to raise the next phase's $100,000.00 to enclose the exterior.
