Big Spring Ranch

Big Spring Ranch is our Colorado summer camp for boys. Campers select their own activities from the wide variety offered. Many choose to be out-of-camp more than half the term on our incredible trips–mountain climbing, horseback riding, rock climbing, tubing on the river, canoeing, fishing, and backpacking through spectacular wilderness areas. In-camp choices include sports, crafts, archery, riflery, hikes, fossil digging, horseback rides and much more.

Big Spring offers a great deal of freedom, allowing campers to discover their own abilities, initiative, resourcefulness and responsibility. The facilities are comfortable, the food is delicious, and important social and emotional skills are developed in every aspect of the program. And the focus at camp is always on fun. It’s an ideal summer experience for boys!
