Association runs a Junior Rifle Program, taught by an accredited instructor. Many
graduates have gone on to win medals at the B.C. Summer Games. One member
competes internationally, as she is one of the top women shooters in Canada. The
Association also has an active co-ed Horseshoe League, hosts a free fishing
derby/campout and pot-luck supper in Port Renfrew on B.C. Day every year, and each
June, they celebrate Brown's Day with a campout at which they BBQ a whole pig. On

Twin Creeks Horsemanship lessons is about learning the horse's language, instead of
the horse learning ours. It's about learning how a horse's mind works and recognizing
that horses are herd animals who instinctively seek and depend on good leadership from
their owner. Clients will discover what motivates horses, acquire ground skills, learn to
ride safely and with confidence outside the arena, and develop a connected relationship
with their horse.
