More About Camp
Surrounded by more than 5 million acres of the White River National Forest, our summer camp is nestled at the confluence of the Colorado River and Sweetwater Creek just 50 miles northwest of Vail, Colorado. This location is superb for an exciting outdoor adventure camp. With our summer camp on the Colorado River we are able to provide daily rafting trips. Plus, the White River National Forest provides a majestic setting for many fun-filled days of horseback riding, mountain climbing and backpacking. In fact, our summer camp has access to most of the scenic wonders and adventures available throughout Western Colorado and Utah.
