Anderson Camps is an original high-country adventure camp for boys and girls 7 - 17. Established in 1962, we offer white water rafting, horseback riding, mountain climbing, backpacking, camping and more, in majestic Colorado high country.
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.
Our Colorado adventure camp programs have non-stop activities. Campers choose morning and afternoon activities including horseback riding, white water river rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, rappelling, trap shooting, fishing, archery, climbing wall, ropes course and hiking.
The summer camp experience kicks into high gear. Each camper goes on a number of overnight trips and all-day trips. The first trip each session is a three-day cabin camp-out. This trip is not co-ed. Another trip is a 4 or 5-day extended trip. Each camper makes an individual choice according to his or her interests. The extended trips choices include of caving, mountain climbing, horseback riding and white water rafting
