Ladies Only Handgun Workshop | Build Confidence & Skills
Now more than ever, women need to feel confident carrying and handling their firearms. Studies show that while many women own handguns, a large number don't carry because they lack confidence with their weapon. Recent events remind us of the critical importance of being able to defend yourself when the unimaginable happens. If you don't do it, no one is going to do it for you.
In addition to hands-on skill learning, this weekend is designed to provide women a change of pace—a time for reflection and a time to breathe. We know the many hats’ women wear and how overwhelming life can be. This weekend is for you. Surround yourself with nature, clean air, good people, and Scripture. Put away distractions and take time for reflection, growing in faith and in community.
Join us for this empowering three-day, hands-on workshop!

What a blessing…
What a blessing this event has been for me. It has shown me so much about myself that I did not know and has allowed me to make and maintain lifelong friendships. An enormous thank-you to Karin Holder for the blood, sweat and tears poured into this event. ~ Sara

I have stepped out of my comfort zone…
This camp has had a huge impact on my life in a very short amount of time. The month before coming to camp had been one of the toughest times in my life with my marriage and kids as well as some other issues. A few days before camp, I almost cancelled. I prayed about it and the next day a few loose ends were cleaned up that I really needed in order to be able to leave my home and attend this event. I have told so many women about this experience. I have stepped out of my comfort zone and am opening up to people. I have you and your amazing family to thank for that. I look forward to seeing what God has in store for me and attending camp next year. ~ Anonymous

Karin has inspired me…
I am SO thankful the Lord brought Karin into my life! What a beautiful, kind, caring, compassionate, driven, and Godly woman! I am honored to say that over the past year and a half, she has become a beacon of light, hope, and determination for me! I have always lived a go, go, go, constantly moving, always busy lifestyle trying to get the next task done. Karin has shown me that everything can still get done that needs to, but you can’t take care of everyone else if you’re pouring from an empty cup yourself. You must take that precious “me time” and make it a priority to fill up your own cup before you can fill up someone else’s. You’ll be amazed at what a difference it makes! ~ Bree

This is me.
In four short days I learned what my soul already knew. This is me. This is who I am. It is written inside of me. I not only learned more about shooting, hunting and being a provider, but I learned more about walking in faith and helping other women. I had an amazing time at RISE camp (Reach, Inspire, Empower, Support). I appreciate Karin Holder for putting this together and sharing this passion with other women.

I have become stronger…
In 2018, Karin extended the invitation to join her Bible study group. As I continue my Christian journey through our studies, I have become stronger in my faith and have grown tremendously in my rejuvenated trust for others.

Karin makes me better.
Karin Holder isn’t just well known, she is also worth knowing. While she may be most recognized for her role on her family’s television program, Raised Hunting, she is so much more. Karen is a strong voice for those trying to balance work and family life. She is an accomplished author, speaker, and outdoors advocate. Karin’s deep faith is her north star and she uses those strong beliefs as a guide as she moves through life.
Personally, I have been inspired by her tenacious work ethic and fierce love for her family. Karin has a way of making everyone in the room feel included and special. She brings both light heartedness and strong leadership into every situation. Karin makes me better.Larry Dugger - bestselling author and leadership coach

I have moved to the next level…
I was nervous and excited to start being coached in order to get my life and business moving in a more positive direction. Even though I consider myself successful, I felt if I could get more efficient and intentional my personal and business life would not feel like I was spinning in circles on a daily basis. Karin made me feel warm, comfortable and safe. Like I could share my largest concerns and challenges with her. I could be vulnerable. Karin helped me find the answers I needed and I have moved to the next level in my business!

She took the time to truly listen…
Karin became my professional mentor in September 2020. I had a lot of fun and exciting things happening, but was feeling the emotional fatigue of planning a wedding, expectations while building a business and family changes, on top of the Covid-19 uncertainty we all experienced. I was mentally and physically worn out. I remember my first conversation with Karin was over the phone and I just cried. It was almost more of a personal therapy session than a professional call. That day Karin showed me how much she genuinely cares about the individuals she works with and I felt like I had found someone who understood me. She took the time to truly listen and has helped me refocus on my goals and what is most important to me, both personally and professionally. Since then, Karin has also become my accountability and brainstorming buddy, cheerleader, and friend. I’m still a work in progress (and always will be), but I can honestly say that I’m a better wife, financial advisor and friend because of working with Karin.

Karin was just what I needed.
I was honored to have Karin as my coach in 2019. I was newer to my business and have been successfully growing, but I knew I needed some help getting to the next level. Karin was just what I needed. She facilitated so many things for me, from new ways of thinking, to better goal setting, and even becoming significantly more efficient! Through our time working together she would listen, and challenge me in the areas I was struggling. Karin would help me put things in a perspective that worked for me. Through the coaching process my business has grown, but I have grown. This experience has made me a better business woman, leader, wife, mother, and a better ME!

…instantly made me feel at home.
Joining the 2020 Faith and Pheasant hunt, with Karin, impacted my life in more ways than one! I had prayed for God to place me in the presence of women who were like me, praised God and loved being outdoors enjoying all the beauty He created! In one weekend, I found those people!!! Being a below the knee amputee, I was so nervous about making the journey from Arkansas to Nebraska by myself, stepping out of my comfort zone and meeting women whom I had only talked to by phone. But when I arrived, Karin, along with the other women there, all greeted me with a smile and instantly made me feel at home. I created many friendships in just 2 days that will last a lifetime. Karin’s love didn’t stop there though. She later invited me to join her Bible studies and she helped me dig deeper into my spiritual growth!! She taught me how to give more of my time to God and I have never felt so full!! This past year has been such a blessing to me. I can’t wait to attend the 2021 Faith and Pheasant hunt. Karin has inspired me in many ways and I constantly learn from her! God is amazing at how He sends people into our lives at just the right time!
