KIDS DON’T REMEMBER THEIR BEST DAY OF TELEVISION.

Nature Camps

“Getting outside in nature teaches you how to think for yourself.”

-Grayson, age 10

Base Camp is just the beginning for our Nature Campers (ages 7-13)! Whether it’s their first introduction to the outdoors or they are a certified wild child, our Nature Camp sessions give campers opportunities to hike, build, create, explore, and adventure … all in the fresh summer air.

Horse Camps

Let your kid live the ranch life at our brand new horse camps.

Campers will find themselves immersed in learning about the equine species, riding in the arena and on the trails, and spending their days on adventures both at the Horse Corrals and at Base Camp. We’re welcoming some new four-legged friends this summer, goats and a donkey, in addition to our resident chickens and ponies—all of which will be included in Horse Camp happenings. Horse Camp veterans and first-timers alike will be lassoed into a summer in the saddle they’ll never forget!

Art Camps Everyone sees nature’s beauty through their own lens. Now your artist (ages 7-13 with no experience needed) can turn their vision into a work of art using all kinds of mediums from painting to sculpture to photography and more. Excursions to unique Backcountry destinations will provide access to the perfect outdoor studio.

Expedition Camps Expedition Camp takes Nature Camp to the next level: new challenges, bigger hikes, off-site excursions, and digging into environmental topics! Campers (ages 11-13) get to test their outdoor know-how and willpower on adventures (think: 14er hike, rock climbing, SUP) that they’ll be talking about long after the summer sun sets.

“As I grow up at camp, I get to do more and go on bigger adventures each year.”

-Taylor, age 11

Leader-in-Training Program Does your high school student want to spend the summer adventuring outdoors, teaching and playing with kids? Our Leader-in-Training program gives high school students training, mentorship, and real-life experiences to sharpen their organization, social, and responsibility skills. LITs earn volunteer hours along with first-hand professional experience.

High Adventure Camp High Adventure Camp is all adventure, all-week-long. Campers (ages 14-17) will head out on big hikes, whitewater rafting, rock climbing, and more as they indulge in a week’s worth of wilderness and leadership immersion.

Our Base Camp

Our Base Camp is nestled into our 8,200 acre conservation property, right in the heart of the Front Range. Our many different learning spaces, meadows, Ponderosa stands, and the foothills provide a dynamic setting for learning about the natural world.
